The 4" block and modded B's along with V's up front and 3" hangers will probably be very close to level, if the springs are all new. It will probably be a hair front-end high, but she said she doesn't mind that look.
Personally, I hate it.
Steph, just make sure your pinion angle doesn't change too much or else you will suffer from driveline vibration.

We are either having one of the local (reputable) offroad shops doing the job who definitely goes over that stuff, or a family friend's shop if he has the time to do it. He's still recovering from getting a titanium pin put in so it's based on if he's confident that he can do it.Thanks so much for all your replies.

Also a few pics of my tires. Saw my friend today, and she's gonna pass the info on to her mom to see what pricing she can get for the toyo's. I'm pretty sure if the price is right, I'll be getting 5 tires. Also found out the rims I'm wanting, although I new they'd be coming out the beginning of the year, they won't be out till February. This'll give me a few weeks to finalize what I'd like to do, as well as get quotes for the parts/labor to get it done.
I would have loved to get all this done before heading back to school on the 23rd but that won't be possible now.
took these today.

Found this site QK4592 Greaseable Ford Super Duty Ball Joint Set they are Dana-Spicer Ball joints, has anyone used these? Since it's a D50 up front could just stick with Dana goods

At 96,750.....so, how bout those ball joints? I'm not totally wanting mine to be bad however since there's almost 100k on them, an I'm doing suspension and other maintenance stuff, I'm still contemplating to just do it anyways.
So Moog, OEM, other brands?
And back on for gears? Good brands or stick with a kit from Dana? I have my driving info on my first post, was thinking 4:56?

So back at school, and my X side project is currently on the back burner for now. I'd like to share my current data gatherings for everyone to have, and if anyone else wants to provide more part #'s etc. and then hopefully make it a sticky on here.
Here's at least a screen shot of what I have. This is in a PDF, or if someone wants to edit/make corrections (although I'm pretty sure everything is correct) and add more data, then I have a Excel document I could email out. Please send me a PM so I'll get the email to respond back

For sake of not blowing all my money at once, I'll probably just be starting with rims/tires first because I'll be needing new tires pretty soon, at a little over 98,350. So anfter doing some more research and looking at a bunch of replies, and also using this site, Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com I think I'm still alright with a rim with 4.75" backspacing....
Here's the info I put in for my current stock rim and BFG 285's vs. a 17x8.5 with a 4.75" backspacing....this doesn't count for the new springs however and only for stock suspension.
current set up vs. an 18x9 with 4.50" backspacing
Whatta you guys think
I'm really wanting to stick with 17's but these style rims I like only have the 18's with the 4.5" backspacing...there's some 17's with 4.5 from Raceline..but aren't my first choice and would be the last thing I'd resort to.
