Hi all:
I've noted that the E250/350's seem to sit somewhat higher off the frame than my '02 E150....is that correct, or is the suspension just higher?
If it is a body lift, would it just take some taller body mounts to get an E150 body up a tad?
What about bumpers--being bolted to the frame--are there different brackets or something?
Im pretty sure its just the suspension thats taller. Ive always wondered if it would be possible to take the front coils from a e250/350 and rear leafs to use it as a lift kit for a e150.
Check out the frame depth, its something like 6 inches on the E-150 and 9 inches on the E-250/350. That will raise the body 2-3 inches alone, plus the spring pack is a lot taller as well. I put a 3 inch body lift on my '86 E-150 about 12 years ago, easy to do and a lot of benefits like better access to the spark plugs, more cooling air over the engine, 3 inches more between the road noise/hot exhaust/muffler clearance, etc.
I can e-mail photos if you have any interest in doing something similar.

I also have interest into a body lift in the future.
If you can send me pictures also, that would be usefull for planning ahead.
Thanks.
