Hey All
Whats the Factory lift on a 2007 F250 Superduty off the Show room Floor, Reason why I ask is I want to Put on steering Stabilizers.
Thanks

 

You're up early posting your first thread... Are you asking about lift kits or steering stabilizers? To my knowledge, Ford does not offer a OEM lift kit for the Super Duty trucks. As for steering stabilizers, I think that you will find that most FTE members will direct you to the aftermarket for better quality components.

Welcome to FTE!

 

Yes I am in Afghan, thinking about my truck. I miss her. I have a 2007 F250 and want to
put after market steering stabilizers. Put when I read the remarks they say Install on a lifted truck, I have the FX and I think it has a OEM lift on it already. Would I be safe to buy them?
Thanks

 

Welcome to the boards

the fx4 package isnt a lift, just a skid plate and some crappy painted shocks.

 

What size tires are you running now and do you have any plans to increase the size of the tires in the future?

 

Look at Aftermarket stabilizers as previously stated. FX4 is a package for the BAJA crowd, and good looking to.

You said you are in Afghan, so that must meen you are obviously serving in the forces... I am assuming. If so , I wanted thank you for that.

If not... BE CARFULL!!!

 

By your handle you must be in contact with apache's thank you for your service to the good ol USA and be careful,we pray for our citizens in the military.

 

Does Osama Bin Laden want a Super Duty?

 

Hey All
yes I am with the 101st out of Ft Campbell, Going on 8 Months flying the AH-64d Longbows.
Thanks for the support we need people like yourself to support us.
I have stock tires, 20 inch rims, I want to lift if later on down the road. Just like to know if starting with the stabilizers would be OK then lift it later. then tires and so on.

if you are looking for single factory replacement stabilizers, you really can't go wrong. anything is better than stock. when it comes to dual setups, most around here will recommend the icon kit. it is pricey though. i bought a pro comp dual set up which i will be installing this week. it was less than $120, but it has smaller shock diameters. the rancho and skyjaker kits have larger shocks, but call for use with a 4" or more lift, while the pro comp can be used when stock.

and thank you for what you are doing overseas

 

Thanks Thats the info I need, The factory truck looks lifted, Some say its not, but looks higher then normal. If I put the Rancho or Skyjaker on and dont do the lift will I be looking for trouble? Should I do the lift first then put the stabilizers on, Because I will lift it later. This is going to require alot of research because there is alot to know on lifting a truck. may sound easy but with all that is out there it is a ice cream head rush

 

There are various ride heights depending on what options your truck has but no one really refers to them as lift. For example a 4x4 will sit higher than a 4x2 and a truck equipped with heavy service suspension will ride higher than without, or a snow plow prep will make the front end ride higher, and a F350 rear end will be higher than a 250. Typically for aftermarket parts all these are pretty much bunched together as stock/no lift.

FX4, let us know how the pro comp turns out, I am looking at something like that since I want to put larger tires on but not much lift. I seen 35's on the newer trucks no prob and that was a 250 with stock susp and wheels. I figure with a 350 and heavy service susp and a level kit (and maybe minor fender trimming, and aftermarket bumpers, aftermarket rims) I might try 37's.

 

Ha! You'll be fine installing a single steering stabilizer now. Only if you plan to run 35" and taller tires is a dual steering stabilizer recommended. Rancho makes the RS5000 single steering stabilizer that sells for $50.99 at 4WheelParts.com. It's a reasonable investment and you will notice a significant improvement in ride quality. Rancho also makes a dual steering stabilizer kit that sells for $164.99. If you decide to install a lift kit down the line or just want to upgrade your OEM shocks, Rancho make the RS9000XL adjustable shocks for 0", 2.5", and 4" of lift, which sell for $97.99 each. There is also a wireless controller that can be used with the RS9000XL shocks to take advantage of those 9 settings on the fly. It sells for $245.99.

Below are the Rancho and 4WheelParts links to the above mentioned parts.

Rancho has a reputation for quality and many FTE members praise the RS9000XL shocks. I always recommend getting the best components your budget will allow. When I have time, I'll try to find more options for you.

BTW, thank you for your service and dedication as part of the US military!

 

Thanks for the Info from all ya. I will keep the fight up over here. Just like to tell you all that I am glad the AH-64D is on or side. Steel on target and 4 wheel them to death.
