OK fellas, I met up with a guy the other day in an 03 with the 7.3. We got to bs'ing and he told me that his truck was lifted/leveled nrunning 305 something 18's. I'm running 285/75/16's and my truck was actually a little taller than his(03 with 6.0). Now all this time, I had been wondering if mine was lifted or not cuz I have pulled up next to several others and some I'm taller and others I'm about the same. I have looked at my springs and whatnot and haven't been able to find any identifying info.

I'm running 305/55/20's and stock height up front. Don't remember your truck being much taller than mine if any

That's what I'm saying. I've been told it is and I've been told it isn't. Just wondering if there is anything specific I could look at to tell.

Measure from your fender to the center of the front hub and put a pic up of where you doing it. I'll do the same and other ps can chime in also

I've wondered the same thing with mine. It is noticeably higher up front, but it's just a 2 spring pack, not the 3+ spring packs that I usually see on peoples trucks with leveling kits. Id like to see how yours sits.

I too am on 285's.

This is how she sits. Also, I have 3 springs in front and 6 in the rear.

I measured from the bottom of the wheel well opening to the center of the hub, both front and rear. The pics are a little off cuz the camera is angled wrong, but the measurements are 26 3/4" rear and 25 3/8" front. First ones are the rear and the last 2 are the front.

If you have 3 leafs up front chances are you just have a leveling kit. (Add-a-leaf.)

Snow plow prep is X-Code springs. Still 2 leafs up front. I don't believe there is any OEM front leaf springs that have 3 leafs.

This is all confusing me lol.

Mine measures roughly 26-3/4" up front from the center of the hub to the fender and mine only has 2 leaf springs up front.

27-1/2" in the back with 6 total springs

:shrug:

I just met a guy with a bone stock 03 f350. I sit a good 3-4 inches higher up front and probably 2 inches in the rear.
