4" Lift??
Hey guys...Ive been looking for hours and hours...
I want a 4" lift under my F250 extended cab..But i plan on going to a D60 down the road...So can i do the lift and swap out the front end and have it all match up?

It should all bolt right in. You will need to purchase the new 4" lift trac bar though. Just Remove the Drop Brackets and then install the new trac bar to the D60. You may need the 350 rear blocks to level the back too.

The TTB and the D60 lifts are pretty much identical, the only thing different is the TTB uses the drop I-Beam brackets and the D60 uses the trac bar. When I ordered my 4" Lift the shop sent me a lift for a 350 instead of a 250. They just swapped me the trac bar for the I-Beam Brackets.

hey krisx i did a sky jacker 6in about a month ago, and swaped to the f350 front end, the lift came with a trackbar drop plate, and pitman shocks and the works, my truck is or was a 250, the 250 rear blocks are 2in and a 350 is 4 in, so you will need 350 blocks got myn for 40 bucks, my lift also came with new front springs and bushings, was going to put lift spring in the rear but they said factory springs are stronger, o you will also need the fitted leaf for your front end. i have put liffts on all my trucks and the sky jacker was buy far the best!!! had it all swaped and lift on in like 6 hours by my self, and all by hand, { air compresser took a crap on me} as far as ride its like a caddy!! and has not even been realined yet they said wait atleast 2 months so the front end settles, i no i have missed or forgotten something so if you got any ??? just haler

I went the cheap route and ordered a rough country lift... It rides exactly as the names states "ROUGH"! If I were to do it all over again I would have saved money and bought a skyjacker. Haven't had any problems with it tho, except for the rough ride. I don't do too much heavy duty offroading with it.

not sure prop 40 bucks or so, its for your front end, how i did my dack springs was took 3 sets of f350 springs and trippled them up and threw in an add a leaf in the rear and threw my rough contry block in the ditch, i got myn so it sets like 2 or 3 in high in the rear but when i pull it may set her down a little but not as much as the block would let, i haule lots of wood and pull goose necks with loaders it works sweet! i have a 9 foot flat bed on that truck now and put sides on her in the winter and load it down with green hedge fire wood no sag and have a trailer i pull with 3 or 4 cords on it as well it holds up grate!!

Oh NVM, I thought it was for the rear. I want my rear to sit a little higher than my front too, right now its just about level, when I haul my horses it feels like im driving uphill! haha. I will have to keep my eye out on some 350 springs now.
