    I'm looking at lifting a 1999 PSD Crew Cab Dually. I want a good lift done right. Truck will be a welding rig so it will have a big welder and lots of tools with a custom bed. Also looking at running some nice Bilstiens. I know I will need spacers for the rear wheels but will I need them for the front also? Has anyone lifted there duallys and who makes the best lifts? What all am I going to need and how big should I go? I'm thinking around 6" to "8. Is there an all spring lift or will I have to run blocks of some sort in the rear. The clearance and larger tires are a must for the type of working conditions the truck will see.

    buy complete springs , no add a leafs or blocks. i am a welder too and the add a leafs make the springs bend funny. with blocks you need ladder bars. the complete spring kits will take the abuse of an off road rig.far as brands, make it a brand name and you will be ok. make sure to use goog lube on your bushings when installing them, less squeak going down through the woods with the added weight.:)

    Your best bet is going to be Donahoe Racing. They have the best designed lift kits for the super duties, hands down.

    Thanks for the name. I'm having a hard time finding stuff that list dually applications.
