2008 F250 Lift Suggestions
Hey guys i sold my 06 F250 and just bought an 08 F250 CC SWB FX4 with the 6.4, on my 06 i had a 8" rough country lift with 8" rear rough country leaf springs on 38" Nitto trail grapplers and 24" rockstars and it rode like a brick, one of the main reasons i sold it. Im wanting to lift my new one around 8"s with 37s on 24s. What lift is going to keep the factory like ride? Im not looking to spend alot of money like on a kelderman air ride but do have some to spend. So please give me your feedback.
Thanks

I rode in benbou's(on PSN) truck (Jesse's old truck). It has the 8" Rize with Icon shocks up front and FOX shocks in the rear along with a leaf pack. It rode really good for a lifted truck. It wan't much worse than a factory truck. He's been trying to sell the lift. If he still has it when I lift mine I will probably get it and try to drop it down to a 6" or 7" lift. If I don't go that route I will go with the 7" ICON 4-link. From what I've read, for the price ICON 4-link is on top then BDS 4-link.

I dont know much about the super duty, but id say a lot of it has to do with 24's. Thats a lot of weight to bounce around. I know my truck is different, but my ride changed dramatically with my aftermarket 20's from my aftermarket winter crappers. the winter crappers ride nicer, they are 17's on a 35. and not as heavy. as my other setup. Not sure if that has anything to do with it or not..

Go with a four link setup, Icon is the top of the game for superduties and lifting. The one you listed is a nice kit and seems to fit the bill. Your problem is with the 24" wheels, step down to a 20,22" rim and it will ride so much better if you have the same setup on both trucks! As more sidewall and a better ride as the suspension will take the heavy hits, while the sidewall will take the small bumps and such.
