one of our admin's, Phox, has that lift on his truck

https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...0&ppuser=18340

quite a few others do as well, not sure about pics though.

one thing to consider about the "5inch" lift............when you put it on a heavy diesel its only gonna give you about 4.5 or so.

Mine's a 2nd gen, that's why I didn't chime in, figured he wanted pics of 3rd gens.

Also, mine is technically a Skyjacker 4.5" lift, I just put 5" in there 'cause it's easier to say, and I'm sure I got more than the advertised 4.5 inches out of it.

ill sell you my 5" tuff country lift. It is actually a 4.75" lift once you get it on the truck. the Tuff country uses Spacers instead of new coils, so it retains the factory ride in the front, i had No probs at all with the lift but the cops had a prob with me so i took the lift, tires and wheels off of my truck See the Classifieds, or PM me.
Oh and its for a second gen. i just seen that cfm3110 had a second gen

I don't mean to spam but on www.dtwtrucks.com under the "tire and wheel" forum there is a guy that has a 2500 CTD with a six inch Superlift and 37 inch BFG All Terrains and it looks mighty tasty!!!!

The thread title it's under says something refering to 37 inch tires.

Not trying to send anyone away from this forum, just trying to add to this topic.

**** that truck with the 37's is sharp looking. I wonder what towing with 37's is like for him now? I was thinking about going with the 5 or 6" lift and 37's but do not want to loose all my low end torque. I do not tow often but do tow occasionally and around 6000 - 8000 pounds when i do. I currently have the 3.73 rear end, what do you all think i would loose if much at all by going to 37 inch tires???
As far as mileage goes, wear and tear on the axles, towing and general drivability...

Any input would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Bringing back an old thread here, but does anyone have some input on this lift now? (5" skyjacker lift for 2500 ctd 3rd gen) Just ordered mine today and am l trying to find out anything I can prior to diving into the install. I ordered the platinum shock as well. Any input, suggestions on install, rep for this lift?
