To be honest if it were me and I was only gonna go 4'' I would just get a radius drop lift kit. The main reason I dont like the radius drop kits is because you can see the arms hanging way down but I think with only 4'' you would never seee it. Plus they are like half the money of a 4 link kit. THis is just my thoughts though, just throwing it out there.

Yes I think the shocks that come with the kit are el-cheapos, but they do fine for me, when its time to replace them I will upgrade to something better.

Yeah I got the dual steering stabilizer at the same time I got the lift.

I got my kit from a place on ebay that had buy it now for $1279 or best offer, I ended up getting it for $1100 shipped IIRC. and got the stabilizer from smae place for like $120 shipped or soemthing like that.

Since you have an f350, you automatically have an overload spring. It is the additional spring on top of the leaf pack.
