Lift question
I'm wanting to lift my 05 F-250, enough to fit at least 38" tires. How much lift, and what would be the best system. I don't want it to be a mall crawler, I want a true off-road machine...What else should I do to it?

I will say SEARCH!!!!
Its a great tool
As for the other stuff... I dont really know anything about your truck what you want to use it for, but i know that you will need to regear to atleast a 4.88 and if its off road only then some 5.13's would be good... Whats the truck really goin to be used for?

well if its not going to be driven on the road much... then go with the 5.13's
As for the lift... I belive that 6" lift with out cutting the fenders... could go 4" and cut the fenders... Would look better in my opinion... But yes...
I dont know if your truck has a factory lift block on it now... But if your goin to lift it get a 6" rear lift with NO blocks and remove the rear lift blocks... get a 4" lift for the front...
With that much lift you will need to extend break lines... and i think there is something else im forgetting too...
what am i forgetting guys?

yea. we ain't that bad.
we won't slice your tires, or pour sugar in your gas tank, or sand in your oil fill.
we will just chain your rear end to a telephone pole while you ain't looking.
