Quick Question about 2wd lifts
I have been looking on the web about lifting a 2wd f350, and getting little to no useful answers. I am not looking for anything crazy, two maybe 3 inches. Enough to take my truck from:
To:
I realize the truck in the second picture is a 4x4.
The rear is easy, I am going to need new leafs anyway. That trailer has been hooked up since the truck has been sitting. So I can just throw a lift block in when I am replacing those.
There is a quite a large ant pile in front of the truck, so I haven't been able to get a good look at the front suspension. Someone told me It will just need some of those coil shock blocks. I thought I saw torsion bars under the truck which only confused me more?
Every time I see a kit for one of these it always says "not for diesel".

you would need new drop brackets for the beams. don't know if you can get "bigger" drop brackets. or bend the beams. longer shocks, longer coils, new adjustable ball joints, delete the sway bar, or get extended sway bar end links, radius arm drop brackets, "longer" pitman arm.
The ONLY way you are going to get your truck to look like the red truck is to do a D60 conversion and and reverse shackle kit.
