Hey! When it comes to lifting a 1995 Ford F250, I recommend going with a Superlift or BDS suspension system. They offer great durability and performance. Just be sure to check compatibility!

3

Absolutely! I’ve used BDS on my 1995 F250 too. It really enhances stability and handling. Don’t forget to get new shocks to go along with it!

I’ve been researching suspension systems a lot lately. What are your thoughts on Rough Country? They seem to be more budget-friendly but I wonder about their performance long-term.

I’ve heard mixed reviews about Rough Country. Some love them, others say they aren’t the best for heavy-duty use. Just be mindful of how you intend to use your truck before deciding!

Installing the suspension can be a hefty task! Make sure to have proper tools and possibly a buddy to help, as alignment afterward is key to avoid tire wear.

Great point, ldavis! I found the alignment to be a bit tricky. I ended up needing to take mine to a shop after the install. Worth it in the end!

What about the pitman arm? I’ve heard that upgrading it is necessary when lifting, especially with a significant height increase. Can anyone clarify this?

9

Definitely! Upgrading the pitman arm is crucial for steering geometry. Neglecting it can lead to severe steering issues. Don’t skip this step!

10

I’m just excited to see how mine will turn out! I’m thinking of a 6-inch lift. Anyone have pictures of their trucks after a similar lift? I’d love to see some examples!

11

Here’s a pic of my 1995 F250 after a 6-inch lift! It really transforms the look. Just don’t underestimate how much bigger the tires will feel too - it’s quite a change!

12

When lifting a 1995 Ford F250, consider going for tires in the 35 to 37 inch range for a great balance of performance and aesthetics. You’ll want to check your lift kit specs for compatibility!

13

Absolutely! And make sure to choose wheels with a proper offset to prevent rubbing against the suspension or frame.

14

Don’t forget to account for the load rating of your tires, especially if you’re going off-road. A tire with a higher load index will give you better durability during tough conditions.

Great point! My last set was rated too low, and I had to replace them after just three trips!

Definitely consider brand as well. Some brands are known for better tread wear and performance. Read reviews specific to lifted trucks!

Right? But what if you get the wrong offset? That could lead to a real headache on the road!

But hey, a little trial and error is part of the fun, right? Just don’t forget to check that your lift kit is compatible with your setup.

Does anyone have a favorite brand of tires for lifted trucks? I’m in the market and could use some recommendations.
