does anyone know of a cheap way to lift the f-350? i hate to put $179 into the junfac chassis and lift kit. Let me know if anyone has any ideas. Im running a tall 1.9 rock stomper tire and it rubs at full turn. I just need a little lift. im also going to pick up the new 1.9 flat irons when they come out and they are the same height. thanks in advance.

You can invert the body side mounting plates, that should give you extra clearance.

Are you trying to lift the chassis,or the body?

Buy TMaxx shocks and Junfac's adjustable leaf mounting kit.

I think he only wants to lift the body to avoid the tires from rubbing it.

Then just take some spacer and longer screws. Put that spacers between the body mounting plate and bed mountings, screw the longer screw in. And you're done.

Simple as that ;)

well, i was able to lift the body up about 3/4" by cutting the 4 posts that are used to mount the steps and using longer screws. i put the 4 posts underneath the electonics mounting plate. This worked perfect and then I put a set of axial beadlocks and 2.2 badlands tires on it. i also removed all the leafs from the springs except the main one. i am amazed at how this truck will go now. i cant run the bed yet or the front bumper with this setup due to it stil rubbing a little bit. i am making some aluminum spacers to put under the leaf springs and some longer screws as well. the spacers will only be about 3/8" tall, but that should give me the extra clearence that i need. i am also building a flatbed for the truck. i will post some pics up soon.
