lift kit ?

So I have a 00 2wd f250 and I do a lot of fishing and hunting so lowerings out of the question. I found a Guy that sells a 3inch suspension lift lit for $650 it comes with Coils. Radius arm drop brackets . Shocks. Blocks u bolts . Center pivot drop brackets. Just checking to see if this was a good price or if anyone knew of any other way of lifting a 2wd that's cheap and easy. He also has body lifts (3inch) $250

body lifts don't work so well on diesels because the intercooler and such will be higher than the engine

If you go fishing and hunting alot go with the suspension lift, truck will also handle better, also put a truetrac in the rear, you won't believe the places you will be able to go. JMOP.

Make sure the springs he offers are rated for the diesel engine. Not too many around here have a 2wd, and those that do rarely seem to lift them so advice will be hard to come by.

If you're looking to save money you could probably get a leveling kit and put larger blocks in the back and get a 2" lift for half that price.
