You can start by swapping shocks.

What shocks do you have now?

Bilsteins or for the best ride quality a set of hangers in front with Icon 4" springs front and 5" rears.

i have bds shocks. they came with the lift.

[du660]

how much would the hangers, 4" and 5" springs cost. does that include hangers for the back or does it use a block in the rear.

[CT Performance, Inc.]

The 5" rear Icons would set on your factory blocks. I'm not a fan of rear shackle flips..axle moves 1" forward. I'll PM you everything.

Thanks, Cary

You could start by upgrading shocks to say Icons as they have a lifetime warranty and are valved specifically for the Super Duty.

If you were looking for that:

Icon Vehicle Dynamics 2000-2004 FSD 4" Front Plush Ride Spring Kit - Front Suspension Springs - Truck Toyz Store
Icon Vehicle Dynamics 1999-2007 FSD Plush Ride 5" Rear Leaf Springs - Rear Suspension Springs - Truck Toyz Store


And you'd need rear u-bolts and I'm guessing since you have an F-250 you'll need larger blocks.....unless you already have them with your current lift.
