last question: about going higher
ok guys, I"ve asked some questions on here and I thank everyone for their help. I think i've made a decision and just wanted to make sure it would work.
2005 F250 crew cab powerstroke with front coils. The original lift i believe was 6" in front and 4" in back. I"m sure i have a 4" block in the rear along with the stock block. What i have now is around a 1.5" tall isolator ( i think thats the right name) on top of my coils in front, In the box of my old parts left over from the lift I found some 3" isolator. So If i swap the 1.5" for the 3" and a 5.5" block in the rear will this work. Im guessing I need an adjustable track bar but is there anything else i'll need. this will put me around another 1.5" higher. Is there anything else i need to get for the front, steering, shocks..etc. thanks for your patience.

you will be fine in the front IMO, but stacking blocks is not a good idea, especially that much block. for the truck to drive decent you will need to "flip" the balljoint for the track bar. PM me if you need more details on that.

Sorry for the slight de-rail, but is it not tapered?

Indeed it is, Thats why I used a pure performance adjustable track bar and flipped it too
I did have to bend the track bar in a couple places to get everything right but anyone with a tubuing bender can do that for ya. If yall are interested I can post some pics of my setup.

I have experience with this mod on another vehicle. It's really cool to see it done on a Super Duty.
