The plans for the truck as of right now are:

3in body lift delete - in progress (waiting on damn new body mounts)
Bye Bye front sway bar - Tomorrow
Shackle flip/block delete - done

So now that I have the flex bug I'm on to new thoughts. I flexed it out and it did pretty good for stock springs, swaybar, and a shackle flip. I'm not doing 52's due to it being a daily driver. I have plans to reverse my shackle flip and do 56's in the rear later on.

The truck needs new shocks so I am focusing my attention there next week. I already ordered my f250 shock towers and am eying up some 12in travel shocks front and rear.

I'm probably going to get some :

Gabriel G63438 (Ultra, G-Force) Collapsed/Expanded: 18"/30"

After I get input here. I figure that if I measure eye to eye on the rear and mount the ford towers to match those shocks would work out perfect and be more than enough for the flexing I'll be doing.

What do you guys think of my mild flex plan?
 
Im in the same boat as you. I have the Super duty shock towers, and Doetsch Shocks. I plan on using 2 or 2 1/2" lift springs. So I measured 27" eye to eye. I'd say if you are going 4" lift your in the ballpark.
 
Alright thanks for the input. I figure if the shocks are recommended for the back and the front eye to eye is the same as the back it should be copesetic.
