2004 F250 V10 4WD

I need info on lift please
Currently truck is stock height with 35s
I want to get a 4 inch suspension lift with blocks in rear and leaf springs up front.

I found a 4 inch rough country lift for $900 shipped.
4 inch springs(front) 4 inch blocks in rear

would u guys go with 3.5 inch blocks in rear?

Any info will help/
is this a good lift....what do u reccomend.

Here is the link to the lift kit.
4" Late 99-04 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty 4x4 Suspension Lift Kit - Top Gun Customz

 

Also, i dont mind the spending up to 1100 for a good lift if i need to.
I just really dont want to spend more than that. Will i need a drop pitman arm or a carrier bracket??

 

yes you will need both the pitman arm and the carrier shim/bracket.

spring for a better quality kit that includes everything you need..

from my expereince in the past rough country makes pretty low end stuff. i bet those springs ride harsh...

theres plenty of quality kits out there, so keep shopping..

 

Do some searching on Icon (aka Donahe). They get a lot of positive feedback for not being as incomplete, poor quality, or poor riding as most lift kits.

As a general note, if a company sells "optional" components to go with their lift kit (like dropped pitman arms, track bar relocators, shocks, etc), that means you really should do that. But they leave them out of the kit for "marketing" reasons. IE, it makes them cheaper to sell.

At 4", you need to address the drag link and track bar angles/lengths or you will end up with binding/wear/bump steer issues. If any of those words don't make sense to you, please do more research before pulling the trigger on a lift kit.
Bottom line, any time you re-engineer a suspension, you WILL change the way it behaves. To avoid disappointment or danger, please do the research and understand the likely repercussions of your decisions.

 

I put a Superlift 4" kit with Bilstein shocks on my 2002 F350 7.3L 4x4 CC SB SRW and I was very impressed with the ride quality. Better than stock in my opinion.

just to let you know a dual shock setup will make your truck ride rougher..

a single quality shock is all you need for such a small lift/tire combo..

but your call in the end...

 

how did you fit 35's on with a stock lift?! i have all stock suspension and i want to get bigger tires. how big do you think i can go without rub

 

I was wondering the same thing. Wheel wells must have been stuffed or the truck had fender cut outs

 

the wheel wells were pulled back using wire under the truck.

 

really?>...good to know. I wont be getting the kit then lol

here is the truck now. i removed the styep bars...still love this kit. This will have to hold me over for a 2 years until the truck is paid for.

Rancho 9000XL adjustable shocks have a rebate through the end of this month.

 

I have an 01 2WD, and I had a 4 inch lift kit installed on my truck. I went with a Fabtech kit. My truck rides just about as nice as it did before the lift. I think you would be happy with a Fabtech. Here is a link to their home page, and then you can navigate through their site. Good luck.
