Thanks!

I also saw where someone else got 2 inches of lift by going to F450 coil springs. I've been looking at the parts schematics, and there are about 6 different weights to choose from; no idea what I need so a little more research is in order.

I wanted to speakto our local "off road" guys that do alot of lifts, but apparently they've recently gone out of business, so no help there.

The F450 springs will give you lift but may not be adjustable so you will need camber bushings. An alignment shop can install them for you. there is several different code springs which will give you lift. What is you spring code on your door tag?

It looks like "RS" is the code? Didn't know that info was on there; thanks.

In this thread: https://www.vanning.com/threads/ubb...the_biggest_tire_that_wi.html#Post457489

Johnnylest mentions using F450 springs on the front of his 98 and getting 2" of lift. Anyone have any ideas of what year F450 springs may be the same? or if they may be from a 2wd or 4x4? I've sent him a message but not sure that he checks in here often. I'm also thinking that coil spacers for a F350 may work, but I'm not sure if the springs on a 2wd F350 would be the same.

Again, thanks for all the help, guys. I've had some help from Jack-it.com too, and if we figure this out, I may drive out there to Salt Lake and let them do the lift on it.

Anyone familiar with these guys? I think this, with their 2" lift blocks for the rear, is just what I'm looking for!

2" may just do it; definitely less $ than the Camburg 4" lift, which was a bit more lift than I wanted anyway...

I personally have not used them, but do know some guys that installed them in their F150's to level them off and they say they work great and gave them just the look they wanted. One even said his ride got smoother.

I'm new and I see this is an old thread, but I was looking at ordering this kit for my 2009 E-350. Any thoughts on it? http://performancesalesonline.com/product/e350-2wd-suspension-lift-kit-2-inch/ I'm wanting to add larger tires and not give up any ride-quality.

Thank you! A lot of knowledgable people on here. I hope to learn some things. I'm really ready to put a mild lift on my ride and go for some larger tires.
