Newbie Finnish asking silly questions

Hi!


I have been trying to find 3 or 4 inch full lift kit to my 2000 PS.
There is lot different kind of kits, some comes with leafsprings some doesent...
The question is that what should i buy??? I dont know what brand is good?


And also big issue is that the shipping to Finland is *****ing expensive, if i order brake discs and lift kit with those leafs, the shipping is like 1900 dollars.


So if someone would send me maybe link to good kit??
And also doo i hafty make some other changes to my truck if i lift it like 3-4"?


Im sorry and thank you!

Ok.


For example, is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-04-FORD-F350-4X4-2-8-FULL-LIFT-KIT-w-SHOCKS-/330935705665?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AExcursion&hash=item4d0d4e2041&vxp=mtr kit fine? Only thing that im thinking is that theres no those full leaf springs, so what is rhe difference between those short things and leafs??






Or this? http://www.ebay.com/itm/99-2004-F250-F350-Excursion-3-5-Front-3-Rear-Lift-Level-Kit-w-Shocks-Pro-4x4-/141295019019?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AExcursion&hash=item20e5d6e40b&vxp=mtr

You don't want the front any higher than the rear... it doesn't look good. The front lift is usually more to help level out the truck since the front normally sags compared to the rear.

The mini spring packs just add length between the axle and the bottom or your springs from what I can tell and probably don't change much for the ride.

I had to get an adjustable track bar and longer shocks for my 4" lift but nothing else.

Your original shocks will be fine, as well as the brake lines, they leave plenty of room, with shipping you cant go with full springs, So I say go with the other guy's are telling you, leaf pack in the front and blocks in the back, you may have to get a dropped pitman arm, but only if you experiance hard steering in the front, but you may need to do something with the trac arm, you dont want to bind the front axle. either a drop kit or an adjustable one.
