Looking to lift my F-250 2.5" to 3" not much just enough for some 33's. Anyone have Any input of good lifts? I think spring kits ride better than block kits. Will be pulling camper and driving a lot so I want the smoothest riding one I can get

Bilstein offers the 5100 for Fords I think. I can tell you for sure they are better than spacers on top of springs on late model Toyotas. I've had both, Bilstein 5100 is the way to go.

I would've bet good money you could fit 33's on an F250 within room to spare without a lift.
Heck, I've got 33's on my 1998 F150 with no lift and no rubbing.

2. All Gun Laws Are an Infringement
3. Taxation Is Theft

You can get 35's with a leveling kit you could put 38's on a 250 with 3 inch lift

Tire size has nothing to do with it IMO. 4X4 trucks these days aren't level, all makers build them nose down.

You can get 35's with a leveling kit you could put 38's on a 250 with 3 inch lift I couldn't run 35s with a leveling kit on my 07. I put 6 under mine. As far as springs versus block, I went with block and have no trouble with campers or tractor and disc.

Well not sure about them new fancy concrete cowboy trucks, but my old 1990 F-250 will clear 35's setting stock, I run 33's on it. And it sets level, and you can put a ton on the back of it, and it dont squat a inch. But it goes off road quite a bit.

Once you hook a trailer up then the rear will go down and the front comes up. Never heard that, is that what the auto companies say? I guess they put lighter springs on the rear than they used to so they ride like a car. Put a load on it and it squats and levels out. Makes sense but what percentage pull a trailer at all and of those how often ?

With a leveling kit only 35s would fit an f250 with some room to spare

It does have a leveling kit, and I probably could get 33's under it as it sit's but it will look crowded inside. Just need some good kits to look at that are good smooth rides going down the road

You need to post some pics of that. If you got a leveling kit on an f250 and you think 33s will feel the fender out idk what to say. You can fit a 35x12.50 on a f150 with a leveling kit. Im not very familiar with the suspensions on straight axle trucks but if its like an ifs and you want a 2-3 suspension lift that leveling kit is coming off and your gonna be sitting at the same exact height you were before, a complete waste of money. What kinda lift you looking at? Only way your going bigger with that leveling kit already on is a body lift.
