, i really love them AMp Powered running boards that tuck underneath and open when doors open.

my dad has these on his camp truck, F-150, about the same size as mine, maybe a little bigger, but also a 6 inch lift. those things are awesome, I don't like nerf bars or steps down there permanently

not too high. 6 inches on a super duty seems to be a lot more than 6 inches on mine...

yeah, doesn't look too high. I would have thought for sure you have a 4.5 incher.







sounds dirty still.

Chad, how much do you want to spend? Carli makes the best lifts available for Super Dutys. PMF makes a great kit too. BDS is only one step down from PMF.

Icon makes great stuff too, but springs are pretty stiff. Good if you have a front heavy bumper.

I run a 2.5" spring lift and 295/65/20 STT Pro tires on my F250.

Always liked the way your truck looked

thanks, man. It looks a little different now that it's got different wheels, fender flares, steps, and a bed cover.

oh, and it hasn't been that clean again since that picture was taken.

It was...now it's just always dirty.


PSA to all considering them. DO NOT BUY KMC ROCKSTAR WHEELS!

I went through 3 sets on my truck. they kept getting hairline fractures and leaving me with a flat. KMC knows about the issue and replaced all of them and eventually let me pick a different wheelset. apparently the issue is very common with the dodge 2500-3500's and the F250-350s.

a 3" lift only lifts rear by 2 " and gives front a ever so slightly leveled look with still a slight balanced lean.

3" lift raises front by extra 1 inch
1.5" leveling kit so half inch difference.

moral of story, 3" lift can give more natural look when towing etc..

What suspension package do you have? Overload spring or no?

If no, it'll squat and not be level regardless.

Yea but what suspension package do you have stock? Ex: My XLT has an overload spring, my dad's Lariat did not. My truck rides like arse empty, and like a dream with a 8000lb trailer on it, my dad's truck rode like a dream empty, and like arse when loaded.

All those smaller/cheaper lift kits don't really change anything for rear suspension, the amount of lift is provided by a spacer block between the rear axle and factory leaf spring.
