A jacked up spring suspension will beat you up a bit on the road....but I think in this case it was the 22.5 rims and heavy duty truck tires. Those make for a really rough ride on our light duty trucks...

My F450 rides awesome with the 6" lift and 19.5's. Smoother than a stock F450 with the shorter side wall stock tires. My F350 has 6" superlift leafs and rides about the same as stock with35" tires and 16" wheels. Wifes F150 rides way better than stock as it has been converted to 6" liftProcomp coil overs 35" tires and 17" wheels. Drove straight CT to FL 16.5 hours by my self, love the ride. If lifted correctly,with the right tires/wheels/balancing ride improves. On the other hand my 9ft tall F150 460cu in,D60 solid axle coil sprung front,D70 rear leafs and short block, lifted 28+ inches on Firestone Turf and fields rides like crap. All show, only drive to and from shows/fair grounds.
OK, the garage has the front kit on and started the rear today. I forgot my freakin camera today. I will post some pics tomorrow. So far the shop said that this is one bad a$$ kit. It is very well constructed. I will let you know about the ride as soon as it is back on the road.
The one thing I am worried about is if thebags are pumped up to the full 4" the ride might be hard. If that is the case I will try to get 6" bags and just blow it up to 4" to allow a softer ride.

This is one bad A** kit. The steel in the kit is thicker than the frame steel on the truck!!!! I have not worries with this lift kit. The wheels will not be in until Wednesday. The shop should have the truck done by the end of the week. I will take pics with the stock wheels as soon as I get her back.
If anyone local in MD/PA/DE needs a shop to do the work on a lift kit Harford Tire in Street, MD has done 3 kits for me now and I have NEVER had 1 problem with any of the kits or service. You can call Jeff at 410-838-8100. They decided to become a Kelderman dealer once they saw the kit.

That looks awesome.. I want a Kelderman lift now. Being a n00b to lifting my 2008 Ford F250 King Ranch, what is all the gear I need to lift my truck to be just like yours srt10viper?
PS: Know of anybody who sells roof lights? My truck didn't come with any when I bought it back in July'07.
Where are you buying your wheels and adapters from. I already have my tires.

I have 4.30 gears, so the bigger tires should bring it down to 4.10 or 3.73.
I bought my wheels and tires from diesel wheels dot com they hand make the wheels so you can just bolt them right up. NO ADAPTERS. You can even use the stock caps from the wheels. They will also shave the tires once they mount them to the wheels. This way they are 100% true. I should be picking up my truck on Monday, without the wheels. The wheels are supposed to come in Wednesday.
Just out of curiosity. Can you guys confirm whether 37s rub the inside sway bar? I heard that 35s rub minimally (maybe 10% loss of turning radius), 37s more line 25%. Do either Kelderman or Rize address this issue?

Marty at truck toyz just did this one.. absolutely sick. Its a Rize 6" with American Force wheels
Those wheels look almost identical to the ones I am getting from Reds/Diesel Wheels. Mine are 8 lug and NO Adaptors. You can use the same stock center caps. I hope they will be in this week. I am also going to try to get the new rear fender flares painted so when the wheels go on, they do not stick out past the rear fenders like this one does.
The Kelderman kit says it is a 4" lift, but it is more like a 5 1/2" to 6" lift. The bags fully inflated are just over 6".
