i got a 93 f250 n i had a idea to lift it cheaply. i was thinking i could build a box type structer to lower my leaf springs n shackels bout 15 inches.this way i dont need to worry bout buying new leaf springs , i would just have to make my drive shafts longer n correct my pinion angle. whats u guys think will this work

 

yah do it, use schd40 pipe. whiel you're at it if you have some extra use it to make a body lift and use grade 5 bolts everywhere for extra strength!!

 

hey paul Why don't you go talk to Seth or Bob Chandler about how his is done and maybe look at pictures.

yes it can be done but doing ti wrong is a death trap. Doing ti right is how the original Big foot was actually done.

 

Geeze Paul, way to be a Debby downer.

 

like rob said, it can be done, but do it right. box and gusset everything you can, and i must say 15''s is kind of ridiculous. do you live in floridah by any chance? and either way i would ditch the stock springs. 2 leafs with a negative arch is silly for a wheeling truck. btw, here is how retard tall your truck would be with 15''s of lift:

oh, and did i mention that your ttb axle is not going to work by any stretch of the imagination. and the only tires that are going to not look insanely small on there will be 44''+ tall so you better be thinking about sinking $5k+ into some one tons or buy you a set of rockwells. not so cheap now is it?

 

dan yes im from florida n i like the way that truck is set up. i dont need too spend anything on one tons my grand pa has a 2 350s that r striped but have the d60 front axles with the same gear

 

Things that will suck about what you want to do:
4.10 gears at best (most probably 3.54s)
Negative arch front springs
Cut and turn your inner Cs


Rob, the "original" bigfoot was a 75 F250 on about 33" tires. Another "first bigfoot" was a 77.5 or 78 with 44" tires and the most famous "first bigfoot" was a 79 with a front suspension similar to what Seth built. The difference here is I feel that Bob and Seth are faaaaar better fabricators than this guy based off his first post.

 

Such negativity here. Lol

 

but am I wrong?

YouTube - Lebowski - Walter's an *******

 

Dude:waving the gun around!?!
Walter: but was I wrong?
Dude: Smokey was a conscientious objector, man.
Walter: this is not Nam, Dude, this is bowling, there are rules.

i used to watch that movie everyday in a drunken haze at 4 in the morning, might have to bust it out tonight.

 

no.........

 

If you do not like the big lebowski you fail at movies.

 

Dan, what size tires are on the red truck in your pic's? it look's sharp!

 

Did that clear it up for u?! :flipoff:

 

Barry, that was my old f350 before I bought it from the original owner. It was a trailer queen. specs were: 12'' springs with 3'' body lift hovering above 44'' boggers all on an otherwise dead stock 94 f-350. it looked good, but barely functioned enough to get out of its own way. they didn't index the t-case or cut and rotate the front housing, so it would spit a front shaft out anytime it was put in 4x4.
