Suspension suggestions
Just looking for suggestions on 4" suspension lifts for a 79 f250. I used to have a 79 bronco that I stupidly sold, but I have a 6" skyjacker lift on it. Just wondering if there's any others people seem to like. Thanks

I've been looking at some. Rancho didn't show anything for that year. Rough country has their 4" system for $750 compared to skyjacker at 1700. I have a rough country on my f350 superduty and it's not to bad. This won't be my daily driver so if it's a little rough I'll chalk it up to being a cool old pickup haha

I have a Rough Country on the front of my blue truck, front springs settled differently. When it comes off, I am throwing it in the trash and going with Skyjacker, like on my red truck. If you were closer you could have it for help taking it off....
I believe Rocky Mountain has free shipping? Suspension lift kits - Ford F250 Just get the front leafs ($750) or the complete kit thru RM for only ($1381.00), that beats $1700. FYI even with the new Skyjacker rear leafs you have to reuse the one OEM block.
Atlas you can delete the rear block all together. 1973-1979 F250/F350 4x4 Performance Rear Springs Atlas SuspensionAtlas Spring Company
You will also need a drop pitman arm, adjustable steering link, either work over your brake lines or get longer ones. Skyjacker has steel braided ones. No need to lengthen d/s or e brake cables for a 4".
