Lets see some lifted SuperCabs!!!

Well I want to lift my 78 F250 SuperCab and i need alittle bit of inspiration.
Ive been thinking of a 4" lift with 35s but im not fully set on that yet...

So can yall post some pictures of lifted SuperCabs to help me decide on how big i want to go?

be sure to include all the specs too (tire size, amount of lift, wheel size, etc.)

Not yet lifted but it won't be much higher than it is now when it is done. My "lift" is based on suspension travel rather than ride height. If I could get the large suspension travel numbers with the truck at stock ride height I would. The i-beam front setup limits up travel in stock form though so that's why the front will be slightly higher.

6 inch lift with 38's

Nice truck, but I don't see where he is saying you couldn't build one for $34,000.

You can find a nice rust free supercab body in the south for a few thousand at most, the crate motor for $5000, and the suspension for $1200 or so. The tires and wheels are another $2000. the painting and body work, on a truck that nice, maybe $2000 or $3000 to have a shop do it.

And then if you start with a decent truck there wont' be a whole lot of other work... I mean, even to pay a shop to do everything, it doesn't add up to 34k. I mean, geez, the thing still has a dana 60 rear with drum brakes!!!!

My lift isn't on yet but my supercab is going up 10".

I wished lived where you're at. You can't get that stuff done for anywhere near the prices your claiming.

$34k does seem excessive for a 79, but considering the attention to detail & everything looks new makes $34k sound a lot more reasonable.

Sorry I'm new to the difference between crewcab and supercab, and why a 20" lift? because zombies will one day be a threat and I want to run them over.
