Help on lift kit

Hey I want to lift my truck up about 6 inches, but I don't want to pay thousands to do it, i will if I have to but I know how to install that stuff, I was wondering if I can just buy 6 inch front leaf springs and 5.5 rear blocks for my 02 f250, I know I'll need longer shocks, but do I need drop brackets also, and the drop bearing thing for my double drive shaft just give me the advice I need so I don't screw up my truck thanks!

If you are going that big just buy a complete kit that has all that stuff included..

You get what you pay for with lifts it seems....One thing I can tell you from my experience is all shocks do not ride the same, get something good when you do it..

Ready Lift sells a track bar drop bracket, extensions for your front shocks, and a carrier drop whatever that thing is called....Other manufacturers do as well if you wanted to build your own piece by piece rather than all in one shot..
