New Member---Lift Questions

Good Afternoon,

I never thought I would EVER say this, but here it goes...I am a Ford owner for the first time. Two weeks ago, I purchased my 2011 SD F350 4x4 Crew Cab Lariat Ultimate Package. It is Tuxedo Black Metallic with Black Leather. I am VERY pleased with this truck so far! You see, I have owned nothing but Chevy and Dodge trucks all my life, and have ALWAYS been a loyalist to those trucks. I am in LOVE with this truck as it is but am having fun thinking of adding on aftermarket accessories.

Ok finally to my question....I have been doing a lot of research on the net and this forum to find the best suspension lift for my truck. I would like to go with a 6-8 inch lift but DO NOT want to sacrifice too much quality of ride. I would love to hear your thoughts everyone please.

Ps...Oh yeah...like my user name?

I don't have my truck yet, but I have an excellent contact for lifts as I will likely do something similar eventually. Nick with NorCal trucks has been in the business for a while and really knows his stuff. He takes the time to explain all of the technical details and has been doing a lot of research lately on various kits coming out for the '11 SD. Although he's located in CA, most of his current business is done online. I would encourage you to reach out to him, here's his contact info:

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>
NorCalTruck.com<o></o>
Livermore Ca

Sales Mon-Fri 8am-5pm (pst)<o></o>

Where did you get your truck? The tag looks like it could be from Akins Ford.

Good Eye. I did prurchase from Akin Ford in Athens,Georgia. Keith Dean is who sold me the truck and gave me an absolutely AMAZING deal. I traded in a 2007 Cadillac Escalade EXT fully loaded. The trade in that they gave me sealed the deal for me. I highly recommend Keith Dean and Akin Ford

I bought an 02 F250 and a 04 F250 for my Mom there, my salesman retired finally. Actually Brad himself set me up with the 02 first.

I wound up at Gwinnett Place because they were the only ones that had the white and gold Lariat.
