As you can probably tell from the title i'm on a budget. I want 4-5 inches of suspension lift without using blocks. I can get the ttb and radius drop brackets for around $175 on craigslist. I would try to find the front springs for less than $100. For the rear i'm thinking of getting junkyard f250 springs($36 for the pair) and flipping my stock shackles. From there I would decide whether I should remove the factory block. If the springs and shackle flip don't cut it I could get longer shackles. Would the rear setup work, I have seen a lot of differing opinions on the f250 leaves and stock shackle flip (not to keen on paying $200 for a shackle flip). What would I need to know about pinion angle etc, im not too familiar. Any tips or ideas would be appreciated. I can weld and do some light fabrication. Thanks

 

suspension lifts on a TTB vehicle are not one of the things that can be done on the cheap with scrounged parts. they all have to match, otherwise you will never be able to get the front end aligned properly and will constantly be prematurely wearing out tires.

 

I would use brackets and coilsprings from kits. I also have done the alignment bushings. I'm mostly asking about my ideas for the rear end, feasibility of stock shackle flip etc...
