Hello, love the site and can't wait to get started. Does anyone have any recommendations for a 2wd lift for a 72 F250. My front end has the sags and needs new springs, so since I will need to make a purchase, I thought I'd find out if anyone else has done this. I am only looking for a couple of inches (aren't we all)

Thanks!

 

No lifters here, how about Stock height? Since I will be in the suspension, may as well replace bushings, etc. Anyone have a list of replaceable intem in the front suspension of a 2wd f250? Anything will be appreciated.

The pivot bushings, radius arm bushings, tie rods, and tie rod ends would be a good place to start, along with new springs and shocks.
There aren't any commercially available kits to lift the 2wd trucks, you can flip the I beams, but there are a few complications you most likely will run into. There are a couple people here that have done this lift, though.

 

Autofab sells 2wd lifts but may be more height than you want along with the heafty price tag. Also top of the line for draining your bank account try camburg suspension they have an Ibeam long travel kit.

 

Don't attemped the flip. There are much easier avenues to do.
As mentioned previously buy the 3" lift or the 5" lift kit from autofab.

You can just raise your stock spring setup by going with a block under the stock spring and adding an extension to your pivot bracket (look here). Or you can get taller springs and add brackets. God-boots idea.
It needs to be said that buy adding distance at the end of the radius arm / beam connection point will decrease the amount of caster. The can be corrected by adding taller radius arm brackets.

Thanks for all the information. I knew that this was the place to start. Any suggestions on a good source for the bushings, etc . ? I think I'll try the blocks or look into spacers for the front. I really appreciate the assistance!
