[power03stroke]

Im looking to get a lift and tires soon.
Im set on getting a 6" lift for my 2003 F-250 7.3.

Which brand should i get?
i was thinking fabtech, skyjacker, superlifts, or pro-comp.

Which would you guys recommended.

Also should i go with 37 or 35 inch tires?

Any one with pics of a similar setup or any suggestion/preference would be great.

i would go with bds that is what i have. it has a no questions asked lifetime warranty, plus it still rides almost the same as it did stock.

You know I'm missing the engine cord the mirrors the leather seats the power seat. the sun roof. AHHHHHHHHHHHH. I got it so cheap from enterprize it was 9 months old and had 20,000 I had too move fast there where five for sale in the whole area, when I was looking and they all had stuff on them or they wanted over $38,000 for an 03. I guess they make en without all the up grades. I am doing the mirrors next.I look around and never see a smoker with my mirrors?

i have the 6 '' bds on my 02 with 37'' s they still rub when i turn to the left even after trimming . i am thinking about another 1.5'' maybe with spring hangers or shackles. or either going back to 35'' s with the next tires. the bds rides as good or better than stock.

I have 4" with 35's and the ride is still good (pics in my garage). The tires will rub just every once in a while if I am making a turn into a place that is uneven. I think if you go with 6" you would want the 37's, just for filling up the fenderwell. I can still tow anything I put behind it so far. You are probably getting on the edge of effective towing with the 6" set up. Just my

Mine doesn't rub unless I'm at full lock. Tires rub a little on leaf springs. A different offset rim should solve that problem. Lift is by Revtech. I was a little skeptical about it until I let a friend use my truck. He has a stock F250 without a canopy and needed to haul a midget frame out of the weather. He said my truck rides better than his does. His opinion counts for a lot in my book. He used to race and win in the Formula Mazda series.

The lift is a bit tall, but will look the best with 37's. It will probably perform better with 35's. Of course you will have to recalibrate your speedo. Mine was about 16% off. At 55 MPH on the speedo I was actually doing 65. Hopefully I can find a way to get some pictures of my rig on this forum ( I'm kind of computer illiterate).

I had the lift installed by Les Schwab who is kind of local to the NW. Good luck.
