First off! Welcome!

You are looking a set of new leaf packs up front with some new shocks as well as a block set-up with new shocks in the rear.

You would need to get a front track bar bracket most likely with camber bolts to keep your alignment in check. You might need extended sway bar end links so there is no bind on your sway bar.

You could pick up a decent 6" kit for around a grand pretty much and run wide 36s or some skinny 37s

+ F350 blocks in the rear.
Running 315/75R16 MTs with only minor rubbing on stock rims.

 

i kinda need a layout/list of what is necessary and what is sought after.
I notice that most have new wheels and tires.
Do you guys do that first or do the lift first?
What about the "add a leaf" sets?
Ive modded many cars but always wanted a real rough truck. Finally got it and i realize im clueless when it comes to parts and necessities.
Also interested in exhaust and possible induction. Im on board with those things.
Just a lotta questions and glad to find a place that has the answers. im going for more of a rough "kick your ***" look instead of the sport offroader.

Thanks again fellas love the feedback and could really use guidance

 

Sweet truck! There are a lot of guys on here who can help out a lot with the truck. Welcome and enjoy your stay!
