help with suspention lift

hey guys hows it going, fng here, i have questions about lifting my 76 f250 highboy. i would like to lift it and throw some 38s on it but i would like to know if a four inch or a six inch lift would work well to clear em. and i would like to know where i can get a lift for it. when i got it, it just had a set of blocks in the front and i am sure thats a big no no. the rear looks untouched, it just looks like it was leveled out with the blocks. i would appreciate the help =)

Yes. There is a guy on here with a 4" lift running like 40" tires. I think you can fit 33"-35" on a stock 4x4, as long as your suspension is not saggy.

Skyjacker might make a lift for you. Check with CageOffroad too. Doubt either will be cheap tho. People have been using Super Duty Springs on the Highboys for lifts and better ride quality. but you will have to do a lot of research and a little fabrication. Do a search on here for Highboy lifts or Super Duty springs and you should come up with a lot. 4" should be plenty of lift to clear 38s.
