WANTING TO KNOW HOW TO GIVE MY 2WD 79 F-150 A 3INCH SUSPENSION LIFT, I HAVE CALLED THE 4WD SHOPS IN TOWN AND THEY SAY THEY MAKE THEM FOR 4WD ONLY, I KNOW I CAN ADD EXTRA LEAFS TO THE REAR BUT WHAT ABOUT THE FRONT, I DONT WANT IT RIGGED UP I WANT IT TO RIDE AND BE ABLE TO HAVE AN ALIGHNMENT.



IN THE COOL HOURS OF THE MORNING
MY F-150 IDLES NOW W/VACCUME LEAKS FIXED;.>

 

the only thing i have found to lift my 76 f150 2x4 is a body lift kit from jc whitney that comes in 2 or 3 inch versions

 

Don't know where you guys are, but down here near San Diego, CA there's a place called autofab that deals with the 65-79 year trucks. they've got a 4 inch suspension lift kit:

And it seems pretty good. no price on the web site, but if it's all you can get...


1989 F-150 : 5.0, shorty headers, Flowmaster cat-back, K&N filtercharger intake, March pulleys, "Multi-brand" performance ignition, soon to be Mass-Air...doesn't know she's not a Mustang

 

the way i see it if your putting a supsension lift in a 2x4 you should (front) move the brackets down and longer coils or add leafs in front. you might have to fabricat some parts but you can do it. I put a 4" lift on my 1978 ranger and it works great.
