Re: best truck lift
My 01 F250 psd has a Fabtech 5.5" lift on it with the dual front shocks. Other than the shocks not holding up well (leaks) I like the lift. The truck has a very long wheelbase being a crew cab with an 8' bed so the ride is great.

Re: best truck lift
too bad you guys don't have a Chevy
I checked in to tell you about Cognito Motorsports, but I don't think they do Ford's. 7" on mine that measured exactly 7" of lift and Bilstein shocks. I put Deaver springs on the rear. Those are really soft, but hold the load with my boat...

Re: best truck lift
the Donahoe is really nice i am looking at them too, they use deaver springs as well but they are pretty pricey, so are they that much better dollar for dollar? or ride verses ride?

Re: best truck lift
I paid $670 for my springs, and by buying them, it turned my complete order into truck freight, so that jacked the shipping up. Definitely worth it IMO. But that's on a 3/4 ton Chevy, which has a very stiff spring in teh rear from the factory.
