Small lifts?

smokedout250 · Mar 4, 2012

Well I would like to lift my truck. I have found 3" and 4.5". My question is what is a good lift brand. What would be a good size lift for 35" tire, either a 12.5 or 13.5 wide tire. I would prefer the front be a spring lift not a spacer!y truck is a 2007 scsb f250. Thanks for the info!

Rancho lift springs clears the 35 just fine and lift is ca.2inch. Runs fine for me since 4years

Okay so let me ask you guys this what's the difference between the 350s and 250s? Just the rear block or are they the same I have found 2.5" leveling kits and 1" kits?

I have an RCD 4" kit it rides great and a solid kit, haven't had a single problem in the nearly 80k its been on the truck. It sits a touch lower than an Icon 4.5" kit, probably close to an inch low but thats my only complaint.

I hear good things about BDS kits as well, especially their warranty.

Well the best would probably be icon. I believe any of them in a 4link are pretty good though. The 4link instead of the drop bracket is gonna cost some cash though.

I have about $250 into my leveling kit. 2.5 spacer in front and 3.5" tapered block from PMF in the back. Clears 35" tires fine. Trimming would depend on backspacing of the wheels.

Okay I'll look into that

I have a billet 2.5" spacer up front (free, made it myself) and F350 blocks in the rear that I traded for my stock F250 blocks, and it clears 35x12.5x17's just fine on stock wheels.

Smoked.....I have a Readylift 2.5" kit with a 5" rear block. They dont make the most expensive kit. I paid $450 for mine. Everyone says the ICON is far superior. I couldn't tell ya. A bit too rich for my blood. If I stepped up to a 4"+ kit, I'd spring for a BDS kit. Good quality, without the absurd price of the big boy kits. I often wonder where the seemingly disposable income comes from on some of these trucks here....makes for some cool eye candy though.

Thanks guys I will keep looking

Do you have the 2.5" lift kit or the 2.5" leveling kit
