Seeking Advice on Lift Kits for F350 Super Duty

Hello everyone,

I’m currently in the market for a lift kit for my Ford F350 Super Duty, and I could really use some advice. I want to enhance my truck’s performance and appearance, and I’ve seen a lot of options out there, but I’m not sure which is the best for my needs. Here are a few things I’m considering:

  • Towing Capabilities: I frequently tow heavy trailers, and I need a lift kit that won’t compromise my payload capacity.
  • Ride Quality: Comfort is essential, especially for long trips. I’d love any insights on how different lift kits affect ride quality.
  • Installation: I’m handy, but I’m unsure if I can tackle a lift kit installation myself or if I should pay for professional help. Any thoughts on the complexity of the installation?

I’ve heard a mix of opinions on brands like Rough Country, Fabtech, and BDS Suspension, but I’m hoping to hear your personal experiences with them or other brands you recommend.

Also, if you could share your specific truck model year and how the lift kit worked out for you, that would be great. It might help in making a more informed decision.

Thanks a lot in advance! Looking forward to your suggestions and experiences!

Discussion Points:

  • What brand of lift kit do you recommend and why?
  • How did it affect your truck’s towing and ride quality?
  • Any tips on the installation process?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

I’ve been researching lift kits for my F350, and it seems like a suspension lift is the best choice if you’re looking for serious off-road capability. I currently have a 4-inch Rough Country kit, and it really does the job!

Rough Country is solid! I’m leaning towards a body lift since I want more clearance without changing the suspension. Anyone have experience with that?

I had a body lift on my previous truck, and while it was cheaper, I found the ride quality didn’t compare to a suspension lift. But it did give me the height I wanted!

5

Leveling kits are a good middle ground if you’re not going for extreme height. They keep the OEM ride feel. I’ve used the ReadyLift kit, and it looks great and is fairly priced.

6

I feel like leveling kits can be a great option too, especially if you want to keep things simple. What’s the max height you can go without affecting the alignment too much?

Exactly! I’ve used the BDS lift on my F350, and it handles beautifully on-road and off-road.

How about the install process? Are body lifts easier to install than suspension lifts? I’m considering having a shop do it for me.

Suspension lifts definitely have a more complicated install. But once done, the performance boost is worth it! Sometimes, you can find generous YouTube tutorials if you’re DIY.

I think the body lifts are simpler! Just be aware of potential alignment problems afterward.

I personally like how a suspension lift stands out! Just be prepared for a rougher ride. Totally worth it for the looks. Haha.

That’s true, but every time I hit a bump, I worry about my teeth rattling out! It’s a trade-off, but I love the look.

Anyone ever tried a mix of a leveling kit with bigger tires? I’m curious how that affects the overall handling.

Mixing a leveling kit with larger tires can lead to some fun challenges with rubbing, especially when turning. Make sure to check your offset carefully.

It’s interesting how personal preference varies so much! Each lift kit offers something unique for different needs. Just gotta find that balance!

Hey everyone! I’m looking for the best lift kit for my F350 Super Duty and would love to hear your experiences. Any recommendations?

I installed a Superlift kit last year, and it was pretty straightforward! Just be prepared with some hefty tools and a helping hand.

18

I tried the Rough Country lift kit, and while it lifted my truck significantly, the installation was a bit tricky. A step-by-step guide you find online is essential.

Totally agree! You also have to watch out for alignment issues post-install. It’s kind of a pain but worth it!

For tools, you’ll need a good jack, jack stands, a wrench set, and some impact tools if you have them. Trust me, it’ll save you time!
