Skyjacker lift?
Ok, so to make a complicated story short, i need to gain about 2" more clearance between the frame and the front leaf springs inorder to drop the steering box back down to its original location. Will a skyjacker 2" lift with rear add a leafs give me this?
Right now if i dropped the box back down the pitman arm (i think thats what its called, will hit the top of the leafs..... (all this due to the previous owner switching the front end out and not the steering box and pump and etc!)
So will a skyjacker 2" lift kit work?
Also, is it a 4" in front and a 2" in rear? On the web site it makes it sound like that....

Here is the link.
Item #F720K-N / Skyjacker Suspensions
What throws me off is down the page a little on the right side it lists whats included in the kit. Notice the front leafs sa 2- 4" lift. That makes me think its a 4" lift in the front?
• 2 x F724S - Softride Leaf Spring; Lift Height 2 in. - 4 in.; Single; Front;
Above is what is says!

I got a 4 inch skyjacker lift for my f-100 the kit a while back said it comes with blocks and u bolts and add a leafs but I only got the add a leafs. I called the company and the guy said that was all I needed to get the 4 inches of lift were the add a leafs. My truck was noticeably not level so I just got blocks and u bolts elsewhere skyjacker gave me the shaft so watch out.
