Will that work with 0-2" lift or would I need to be at 4"+ for something like that?

F250 LD is weird suspension as it has torsion bars and would need a torsion keys to get max lift of 2". Another option is to put a 3" Body Lift. But here's the kicker.... There's only a handful of companies that make 7 lug wheels. A friend of mine had one, modded it and had a hard time sourcing the parts. If this is something you are interested i can help track down the parts. Let us know.

The problem with the F-250 LD is not so much the wheels as it is the brakes. It shares the same calipers and disc size as the 99-04 Lightnings. Most spindle kits are not designed for this type of caliper and either need machine work or for the person to down grade to the normal F-150 caliper and brake set up.

The good thing is i already have a set of 17x8 wheels on the truck so i am set with those. I know i asked Method Racing a while back and they said they could make me a custom set but i do not know if they still can. The truck looks leveled right now so i would need to check if the previous owner already cranked on the key bolts or if my rear leaf pack is suffering.
