I have the 4.5" CST suspension lift from Icon on my '08 F250 and love it!!!! I put 22" rims and 35" tall tires. The only problem I have found with it is a shutter at 5 to 15 mph. havent figured it out yet but i think its where the drive shafts meet up (brain fart... cant think of the name of that joint)... i think i just need to shim that up to correct the prob.
Overkill... you have delt with this system a lot any ideas of what can fix this problem

CST and Icon are different companys.
Did you install a carrier bearing drop kit?

What you are feeling is driveline shutter. Add 1"-1.25" of shims to your carrier bearing and that should resolve the issue.

I did not install myself I had a local shop install it. However it was the first time they had done this system. They told me it took two guys between 2 to 4 hrs to complete and that installation was simple. They were also very pleased with the people at CST when they called to learn about this system. I hope this helps you decide
My 350 is mostly a tow vehicle. It's the main reason I bought it. What does lifting do to towing ability or efficiency? I don't really like how low the truck sits but then it ain't a 4x4 and it is a duelly.

When a truck is lifted, the frontal area is increased, which increases drag. Also, when a truck is lifted, larger rims and/or tires are added, which increases rolling resistance. These reduce the efficiency of your towing machine.
The higher you lift and the larger the wheels, the less efficient your truck will be for towing.
