Lift Kits

Hey guys, I got a 1969 ford f250 high boy. Trying to find a 4-6 inch but finding that to more difficult then I thought. I'm wondering if later model lifts will fit a '69? I've seen a few in '70's and '80's just sure. Hoping someone on here can give me some insite. Thanks.

Skyjacker is the only manufacturer (to my knowledge) that makes highboy lifts, they come in both 2" and 4" flavors, no 6" available.

Thanks for the response. Yeah I've looked at the skyjacker kits. I just wonder if the kits from the '70's will work on a '69? I mean how different could they be?

Yup they will work to but you will need to do something about your steering setup drag link angle not sure what you will do about that either swap to a power steering setup or make a drop pitman or drag link maybe. Raised steering arm.

Sweet, thanks for the link. Can't believe I never found that. Another question, any specifications for after market rims? Want to open the stance up an put alittle wider tire on.
