18in rims, 35in tires, carli 2.5in lift with their backcountry fox shocks, and full rear deaver springs.

Nitrogen does nothing for ride.


If you want stock height, stock front coils, king 2.5in shocks from Mike at nolimit, and deaver makes a stock replacement rear leaf pack where you get rid of the rear block. The stock Michelins ride really well.

Still need load capacity? Removing the rear fat leaf made mine ride much friendlier in the rear.

I've thought about doing airbags with it to regain my load capacity but retain better empty ride, not sure.

4-link up front added a LOT of stability for me, and improves feel, but does improve harshness a tad. It was a worthy trade off for me. Its not necessarily rougher, but more sure-footed for sure. Kinda hard to explain.

Otherwise tire pressure is a big one. I run 40-45 on the street rather than 70-80.

The Firestone airsprings will handle all the F-250 wants. I dump a ton in the bed w/ my 5er, and the airsprings brings it back to level, and not really touching the big fat spring, and ride is great!

I'd love to try your setup on some of the roads around here.
