How to??

Bought a 96 f-250, didn't realize it had lift blocks in the front end... I want to keep the 4inch lift, but don't want to go out and spend the money to buy a whole new lift kit just to change the front. How do I keep the lift, but take out the blocks? Considering they're dangerous and illegal. Need to knowww

1st we need to SEE what else is done to the front end. There may be a pile of things that need to be changed

Welcome to FTE!

How you go about doing this will depend on whether the truck is 2WD (Twin I-beam suspension) or 4WD (Solid axle or Twin Traction Beam). Can't offer much advice unless we know what suspension you have.

Excuse parts hanging, in the processes of putting my transmission back in.



From behind the front tires.



From in front
