im not up on the lifts for the front since the d50 is up there. ive seen a couple that have made drop brackets for the axle then put the sky reverse shackle on it, or the one from oru.

I have a 4 inch f350 block in the rear or my 92 F250, but I also have 3 leaf diesel springs in the front. It sits perfect, and loks great.

Not yet, but hopefully it will soon.

jcab-I got the blocks and front springs from my local ford dealer. I cant remember what it all cost(it was about 3 years ago). Seems like it was all about $300-$400. Just remember you need longer u-bolts also. I had those made at a local truck shop. Also the diesel springs dramatically reduced my ride quality.

my kidneys start to ache when I think about driving my truck when its spring time and the ground is thawing and making unavoidable potholes in the road.
Something you might want to look for is a spring pack with thin leafs and more of them, than one with thicker and less.
