Been out of lifts for years now but my 12 year old wants to lift the dually. Seems he loves taking this truck to school now every morning. I see Donahoe is gone. I`d like to run 37`s so Id imagine a minimum of 6-7 inch lift. 2003 F350 4x4 cc, LB, 6.0, DRW. Who makes the best suspension lifts now? Thanks

I was very happy with my Fabtech lift on my 05 F-350. I didn't know Donahoe was out of business.

I believe same quality but different leaf springs. The brackets are usually the same with all brands but the leafs are the main difference. Icon I believe makes their own leafs the same way as Deaver (thin leafs, multiple leafs). I think Donahoe used Deavers in their kits.

They sold out to icon a few years ago http://iconvehicledynamics.com I have the 4.5 Donahoe lift and I love it. Smooth level ride

From what I was told Donahoe got himself locked up. ICON Vehicle Dynamics is the same company but different name. Several of the former Donahoe employees bought the company after he got locked up and changed the name to ICON.

And I've heard fantastic things about ICON as well.

I have a Full Traction on my 03 with 5100's, rides better than it did factory. Customer service was good with full traction, only downer was I had to wait a week for the leaf packs as they didnt have any laying around.

I had the Skyjacker Z link kit (replaces leafs) with SJ coil overs and Deavers in the rear on my 2000. Truck sat on 37s and rode well... When it ran. :)
