i appreciate the input.

Currently trying to get ideas specifically for leveling the 2011 various models.
I think it may be hard to pinpoint every variant. Seems like 2 identical trucks may sit at different levels. I know there is a camper package and the diesel may sit a bit lower due to the weight.

What would be nice is to create a spacer, well 2 spacers per side, that thread into each other and be screwed in or out to accommodate different levels.

Some companies, I believe Rancho/Tennico is making a coil/strut where the level can be adjusted.

That would be nice, just there would not be a way to secure a threaded piece from adjusting on the road if a full load was not applied to the spacer.

We have been doing lower coil spacers for the mild kits 1"-1.5" that are fairly simple and inexpensive to install.


The Rancho quick lift you are talking about works great but is only available for a strut suspension. The Superduty is a Coil/Shock suspension.


You gotta love that they all sit differently, Ford is trying to keep us on the tip of our toes.

I would love to get my hands on some simple 1" or 1.5" spacers for the rear of my truck. I know when I hook my travel trailer up, which weighs in at about 8000# loaded for a week's trip, my truck is gonna look ridiculous with the amount of sag in the rear, even with a WD hitch. It appears as if my truck has gone from sitting level to the rear sagging slightly. I have 2000 miles so far and maybe the rear springs have settled slightly. Either way, I hate the way it looks right now and can't afford to do a mild lift.

I could always "donate" my truck as a test platform for any new Ready Lift products....

Ha....I'd love to! But I was thinking you could just send me some experimental suspension components and I could install them, photo the truck for the forum, and post a lengthy review for all to see.

Just let me know where you'd like to ship them.

Your best/easiest solution might be to go to Ford and buy the F350 spacer blocks (their is a right and a left) and a new set of u-bolts. Might run you $150-$200.

Other option is air bag suspension.
