One Up Offroad’s suspension...
One Up Offroad’s suspension kits are fnely crafted, and Eric’s attention to detail is on par.
“I have always been fascinated by custom vehicles—particularly diesel trucks because of their power and performance,” Eric Ramsey of Beavercreek, Ohio, told us. The dreams eventually became a reality for Eric. “Growing up reading truck magazines and building a truck worthy of being featured in one of them has always been a goal of mine,” he explained. “After many years of watching custom car shows and attending several events, I was inspired to build my own.” This ’03 Ford F-350 Lariat is the result.
But Eric didn’t just want to build a nice truck; he wanted to have something that was very special. He was determined to use the finest parts and install them with the utmost attention to detail, to live up to the dreams he had envisioned for many years. But on another note, Eric was also clear that he wanted to be able to drive the truck every day for work, take it off-road every so often, and tow his toys.

The suspension is probably the one thing that gets pointed to the most at truck shows, and that’s understandable. The One Up Offroad 12-inch 400 Series suspension system is set at 16 inches of lift using a three-link front suspension that attaches to a center cradle. This system drops the transfer case and driveline 3 inches (with a 20-degree clock ring). OUO rear traction bars and blocks are used in the back.
