suspension

Looking for suspension suggestions?? I have a 2003 F-250 Crew Cab 6.0 just wondering what I need to get 35" tires under it. I see orionlife has a 2.5" leveling kit on his but his is a F-350. Help......

On a 03 I would recommend a 4-4.5" lift to clear 35s on aftermarket wheels.

Lots of pics here:

You can use the drop down menus in the gallery to search for pics of Fords on 35s.

Alot of it depends on rim width and backspacing. Not just hieght of tire.

Yep, they are safe. It's a 4 leaf pack secured to the stock 2 leaf pack with a new center pin. They are also longer than just a block.

A lift block merely sits in between the leaf pack and the axle and isn't secured/attached to either one.

My Deaver springs are a 12 leaf pack so my pack height is much taller than that.
