Best looking 8" lift for 2014 platinum

Jrnav1388 · Jul 15, 2014

Hey guys I'm going to be purchasing a 2014 f-250 platinum in the next few days it's been about 4 years since I owned a Powerstroke I want a 8in lift with either 24s and 37s or 22s 37s any suggestion ill appreciate any pics and any info on nice riding lifts keep in mind this truck will be my weekend I prefer I smoother ride on pavement and will sacrifice off road capabilities thanks in advance

i'd say carli or Icon will give you the best ride on pavement. i'm other people with some real world experience will chime in. 24's and 37's look killer, i'd do 24's personally. what color is the truck your gonna buy? I have the whole lift powder coated in a contrasting colors. so you can see, for example if your buying a tuxedo black truck, you could go with red/ white/ orange and electric blue would look really sharp too especially with gloss black 24's. post up some pictures when you get it.

It's going to be the ruby red platinum and I'm thinking of changing the color matched bumpers to chrome. What do you think ?

For the right price you can buy one that's done. I had to wait a very long time for the custom length shocks and such.. Contact me if you are interested, I'm motivated to sell and I need it gone before the replacement arrives

Not including my 3 month wait on my forces!

I think it is your truck and you can do what you want, but people pay a lot of money to have color matched bumpers, but if you like chrome better then put chrome ones on. I'd keep the painted bumper on it. also I think Jared from river city diesel's truck would save you a lot of money vs. building what sounds like a very similar truck. but if it's not what you want then its not the truck for you.

:stupid:

Jared's truck has top of the line EVERYTHING on it. I think I would crap my pants if I knew how much was just in the lift and wheels on that truck. He takes great care of his stuff and is an awesome guy to deal with (he seems to get a lot of my money). Even though its not the color you are looking for there are no differences between the 13 and 14 models and this one would save you a bunch of money over doing it yourself.

But if its not what you want thats all there is too it as well. Jared sells OUO stuff and can help hook you up with the same quality lift that is on his black truck.

I agree truck is more than awesome I hope I can get it to look like that but I like the short beds and always wanted a red lifted machine what do you guys think of a 24in wheel on 37s

WHY NOT · Jul 17, 2014

IMO I like a 22" wheel on a 37" tire but thats just me. I have seen plenty of trucks with a 24" wheel and 37" tire look good

Hey guys I know it might not be the right thread but have any of you guys tried polishing the grill and back tailgate piece to a mirror finish I just picked up my truck today just wondering if it's real aluminum the salesman didn't seem to know

That's the one I wanna lift and put 24s and 37s just not sure if price of 24 and 37s is worth it instead of 22s 37s

well for 22's and 37's its probably about 4000 depending on wheels and 24's and 37's its about 6000 depending on wheels and tires. I'd assume you are going to go with something American force wheels and a toyo open country m/t. I'd say it is it, check with your local tire places they can probably get you a pretty decent price on a wheel/tire package. If I had the money when I bought my wheels and tires in march I would have gone with 24's and 37's but it just wasn't happening then.
