Deaver https://deaverspring.com/
Superlift https://superlift.com/ford-lift-kits
Skyjacker https://skyjacker.com/
Jack-it https://www.jackit.com/lift-kits/sus...d-f250-1341937
Rough Country https://www.roughcountry.com/suspens...lift-kits.html
Tuff country https://www.tuffcountry.com/
Rocky Mountain carries Rough Country and Skyjacker and might have free shipping?
Atlas is the only company that even has/offers a option to delete the rear OEM block all together. Even if you get a 6" lift kit (front leaf springs only) from Skyjacker (lift system means new replacement REAR leaf springs) you still have to reuse the OEM block.
Also time to think about factor in $$$ new rubber or poly bushings in your rear shackles. New u bolts, new shocks, longer brake lines. Skyjacker has the 3 steel braided ones. E brake cable drop bracket. Drop pitman arm, (F250?) adjustable steering link.
Your 77 an early one? Like HB early? If so your rear leaf spring are 2 1/4 wide and not like the late 77-79's that are 3". But your front are 3". Also your steering set up (Power Assist., Garrison or Bendix will probably have a different set up as far as what is needed for a lift kit.

I am trying to locate a web site that has BIG lifts like 8" and 10". What about a 6' and a 2" body lift? Cheaper way to go.
Skyjackers lift versus tire size. file:///C:/Users/Rich/Downloads/Tire...heel-Chart.pdf
So it says...66-77 F-250 High Boy 4WD 2” 38” 12.5” 16.5-20” 9.75” 3.75”
4” 40” 12.5” 16.5-20” 9.75” 3.75”
Any though of converting to a 78/79 steering set up? High steer or cross over? Also remember that much lift on a HB with a low pinion front D44..... you might need to drop the xfer case a bit and or get new longer d/s.

X2, but If you're going through the work might as well get some 08+ super duty rear springs they're over 10" longer than our stock springs. Better ride, more flex.

That link redirects to tennesseespring.com and I didn't find a page that indicated they do leaf springs. What more can you share about them? Do they only do coil springs?
