Re: Mild lift on a late model E350? | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 336 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 336 | Yup that is very doable. Get a set of 3 degree camber bushings. That will make your front camber negative. Get stiffer/taller front springs to make up your negative camber. This will give you 2.5 to 3 inch front lift. No drop brackets or anything needed. Just camber bushings and new springs, or even under spring spacers, I've ran a set I made before like that. 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. 2000 E350 7.3L turbo diesel

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?

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. 2000 E350 7.3L turbo diesel

I think this, with their 2" lift blocks for the rear, is just what I'm looking for! http://maxx-lift.com/products/E250-E350-2WD-LEVELING-KIT-2-INCH.html2" may just do it; definitely less $ than the Camburg 4" lift, which was a bit more lift than I wanted anyway...

One even said his ride got smoother. | | | Re: Mild lift on a late model E350? | Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 2 stranger | stranger Joined: Feb 2018 Posts: 2 | 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.
