Help looking for a lift kit!

I just bought my first 1999 F-250 with a 5.4L in it. I would like to put a lift kit on it but every kit I've looked at is for leaf springs in the front. My truck has coil springs in front. I feel like I am running into a brick wall with this truck can anyone help me out with answers.

if you have coil springs in the front then you have a 2wd, f150, or 05 or newer super duty

It's 4wheel drive that is what I have been running into. The body tag said it was built in 9/98 but I don't know where to look on the fram.I think the guy I bought it from might have swaped frames because the his 06 had leaf springs in the front and a 7.3 in it.

That would make sense if he swapped frames! The 7.3 was only used until the first part of 2003 and leaf springs were only used until 2004.

If that is the case then you need to look at lift kits for 2005-2007 Superdutys.
