02 ford f250 will be a air ride kit looking to do a triangulated 4link on it with air bags.. ride height will be bout 25" fully lowered will be 19.5" and fully lifted will be 30.5"

i will run a cradle under the frame to help keep the link bars in a good angle

will be on a set of 49" or 53" military tires

truck will be repainted before this all goes on(since after its done no way it will fit in a booth)

and after lift gets done it will be going back down to houston to get the frame, suspension and axled all painted

OOOOOOOO they have billet alum link bars but.. for all 8 link bars and 16 forged chromoly end links its like 2500 bux lol

no idea how long the bars would actually need to be untill the cradle is built and the truck is raised to ride height

I know why we thought it was different numbers!! I thought it was measure in dick inches. thus 6 dick inches are pretty close to 8 real inches! my mistake! haha
