how much lift will i gain adding f-350 front springs and a dana 60 staright axle? ive heard they add about 2 inches and am thinking of having them re-arched another two. something else i saw on ebay are small spring packs that go underneath the existing springs and add another 3 inches of lift. thinkin about those under re arched f-350 springs. plus a 3 inch body lift hehe

going to solid axle and f350 springs will raise it up 2-3 inches in the front.will need to raise the rear to match. but with the setup u are planing that thing will ride like a lawnmower. u will feel every little thing in the road.

Man!! I love the stance of the camo truck. What are the suspension specs DieselCrawler? I tried to PM you, but I don't have enough posts to send a PM. Thanks.
