LS1 CAM SWAP AND DYNO TEST
When it comes to adding power to your small-block Chevy, the camshaft is an integral part of the performance equation. Luckily for owners of Chevy’s latest iteration (Gen III) of the famous small block, the modern fuel-injected LS1 responds just as well to camshaft upgrades as the LT1s, L79s and L48s of old. Naturally, cam technology has come a long way since the days of the Duntov 30-30 profile. The improvements in cam technology are important, as the new LS1 is head and shoulders above any of the old ’60s and ’70s muscle-car small blocks, regardless of the advertised power ratings.

Killer Chiller
There was a time when most hot rods had only stick shift transmissions. We can remember running a ’39 Ford transmission behind several different engine combinations, which quite often ended up with gear teeth on the bottom of the transmission case. If the transmission didn’t break the rear axle in the ’40 Ford, the rearend would. It wasn’t a solution, but it was a start.

The Alien
When firefighter Joe Chavez of Irving, Texas, was a senior in high school, he grew up in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, and drove a ’66 Chevrolet Nova. “I had a lot of fun with that car. I called it the “Alien,” and everybody in town knew whose car it was,” Chavez says. Unfortunately, when Chavez relocated to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1985, he couldn’t afford to take his prized Nova along with him. As the years went by, he found himself regretting the decision more and more.

Transform Your Ford F-Series Super Duty with Any Level Lift’s Static Lift
If you’re looking to give your Ford Super Duty the stance, performance, and capability it deserves, Any Level Lift’s Static Lifts have what you need. For 2017–2023 Ford F-250, F-350, and F-450 models, these lifts aren’t just about height; they’re about commanding presence, improved handling, and off-road readiness. With choices between 4.5″ and 5.5″ lifts, these kits are tailored to make your Ford the king of the road—and trail.
Why Lift?
Lifting isn’t just about height. It’s about giving your Super Duty a more aggressive look, better ground clearance, and, let’s be real, the ability to slap on those 37” tires that make any truck look downright menacing. With Any Level Lift’s Static Lift kits, you’re doing more than just elevating your ride—you’re enhancing your truck’s capability and attitude.
Built Tough for a Reason
The Any Level Lift kit isn’t just a bunch of parts slapped together. We’re talking about top-quality components built to handle anything you throw at them. Each piece—from the progressive-rate front springs to the sway bar drop brackets with logo accents—has been designed with durability and performance in mind.
Here’s what you’re getting with the Any Level Lift Base System:
- Progressive-Rate Front Springs: These springs give you improved ride quality over stock, handling bumps and road imperfections like a pro.
- Remote Reservoir Mounts with Logos: Added style and performance, featuring a distinctive Any Level Lift touch.
- Pitman Arm Drop & Track Bar Drop Bracket: These essential components ensure your truck’s steering geometry stays dialed, even with the increased height.
- Steering Stabilizer Drop Bracket: Helps maintain control and stability, even at higher speeds.
- Radius Arm Drop Brackets: Engineered to keep your suspension angles in check, for smooth handling.
- Traction Bars with Frame and Axle Mounts: These keep axle wrap at bay, which is crucial for keeping those big 37” tires planted.
Choose Your Adventure: Cab and Bed Configurations
With options for Crew Cab Short Bed, Crew Cab Long Bed, and Regular Cab Long Bed configurations, this lift kit is tailored to fit your specific setup. And if you’re picky about traction bar style or rear axle preferences, Any Level Lift has you covered with customizable options to make sure you’re getting the lift that suits your build goals.
Shock Package for Superior Handling
A good lift needs good shocks, and the Fox 2.0 Reservoir Shocks are up for the job. These shocks come standard with this kit and are precisely tuned to handle the added height, maintaining that smooth and stable ride whether you’re on or off the pavement.
Powdercoat Options—Make It Yours
For those who demand custom looks, Any Level Lift gives you plenty of powder coat choices. Select from standard colors, or if you’ve got a specific shade in mind, just let them know, and they’ll prep the parts to your exact specifications. Whether you want bold reds, mean blacks, or a completely custom hue from Prismatic Powders, you can make this lift a true reflection of your style.
Built for the Long Haul
Built tough, built smart, and designed to look good, Any Level Lift’s Static Lift kits are made to handle all the abuse you can throw at them. The kit price comes in at $4,400, and considering the quality, precision, and sheer capability, it’s worth every penny for F-250, F-350, and F-450 owners who want to take their truck from great to unbeatable.
