Suspension Lift

I am looking into putting a small lift on my 06 CC LB F-350. I'm liking the 3" lift by Rough Country mostly because of price plus I have had a 4" on my 01 Super Duty and dont want this truck that high.

Was wondering if anyone had any thoughts or experience with this lift?

Icon lift, adjustable trac bar is a $300 option, without it the axle will be offset one way slightly. Not the cheapest by far, but definitely the best ride since it uses longer springs and not a spacer.

i checked out the icon stuff... little to rich for my blood.i need cheap way to get like 4 inches. bare essentials. not the smoothest ride now so im not looking for cushy comfort.

I like my rough country lift, but like cartmanea said the ride is a little stiff but Im quite sure its the cheap shocks that come in the kit.

I have a 4" Rough Country lift and I love it. Priced right, quality components that fit really well. I went with the dual shocks up front and a drop pitman; steering geometry is perfect. Ride is a bit rough but I expected that.
