Superduty lifted?

This is my 01 I bought used and was wondering if you could tell from the PIC if it is lifted? I want to run 35's and when in the parking lots around town mine always seems higher than other SD's.
Don't mind the rust I am working at chipping it away and giving it a bath with POR-15.

Judging by the rear springs, no it is not lifted. Seeing how it has a gas motor it does not have the front sag or possibly a 2" leveling kit at most.

What size tires does it have on there right now? You can for sure get away with 305/70R16's Possibly 315's.

It looks a little squated in the back, but you have something between a leveling kit and a 4" lift I'd guess. You get a little rub with the leveling kit and 35", a 4" has a lot less. However, my new Toyo's rub pretty good on my 4" lifted SD.

So to run 35's I would need at least a Donahue racing 4.5 lift?

I would recommend a 4" or 4.5" lift to clear 35s on a 99-04 truck.

And Donahoe Racing is now Icon Vehicle Dynamics (same products and lots of the same people, with a new owner).


Let me know if you have any questions on their products.

4" was fine with BFG ATs, it only rubbed at full lock. With my Toyo Open Country MTs, I rub much quicker, but it's not terrible.

I was on your site looking at all the pics LOL allot of trucks with 35's and the 4.5" lift. Looks like what I would like to run.
