Lift help
I have a 93 7.3 idi with I beams and wanted to know if there's any lift kits out there? Not extreme crazy lift just a solid level. Maybe 2 or 3 inches in front is all. Can't find anything anywhere. Was wondering if someone could shine some light thank you .

2wd or 4x4?
2wd.....the trouble is not worth the couple inches...re-bending beams....finding a GOOD alignment shop
4wd....they make lift kits, but i would just do a D60 swap. better(stronger) axle and will get you the lift you are looking for.

It's 2wd but there's nothing I can do to lift it without messing with everything? Cuz if a 2 inch lift needs bending I beams than screw that ill maybe lower the back and put 33s on. And repost? I read that there's a diesel van that has my coil springs but just a little taller?

You should be able to get away with a mild lift without needing bent beams, but my knowledge is based solely one experience with TTB. I've leveled 1/2 ton and 3/4 tons and was able to get them aligned with nothing more then adjustable camber bushings.

I have no clue as I've only run 4x4s, but as long as you own a sawzall you can make anything fit

i would get new springs. the ones on it are probably shot, and that ebay 1 inch kit is a shim you put under the spring. not a very good idea.
