Arrow Lift Help

I'm buying some 35s and I'm gonna need a lift kit. I'm a cheap **** and I came across a cheap kit on ebay. I know that front lift blocks are a huge no-no and I will not be using them. The kit I'm looking at has a "mini spring pack" for the front and I'm wondering if its just a glorified block???

Heres the kit:

1988-1998 FORD F-250 F250 4x4 2" FULL LIFT KIT w/ SHOCKS | eBay

Kind of looks like it is. Might make it ride rough.

That mini-leaf pack is just a glorified block. I would not buy from somebody that calls our Gen 7-8-9 trucks a Super Duty. He also says it's not for a f350 but he says it clears the "Pan Arm" bar. Funny, my truck doesn't have a "Pan Arm" bar.

Pass on this one.

Curt part# 13310 fits my 82 f150 reg cab 4x4 long box

Curt's part number 13310 fit my frame.

I wish Curt would've just shown the dimensions in the specs. Could have saved us a lot of BS.

Um, I thought we were talking about a bogus lift kit off of FleaBay.

Enjoy your new Curt receiver!
