Lift

So I’m new to the whole truck thing but I want to lift my 1970 f250 aprox 4 inches and put a set of bigger tires on it. But I have no clue what looks good or what fits in the wheels wells without rub issues. Please let me know I’m clueless with all of this stuff. Dm me pictures of what you did on Instagram @stevie_munier

Is this a 2wd 250 or 4wd?

The only way to raise a Twin I Beam 2wd is to use the I beams from Autofab:

Steve, I just ordered the 3" Economy Lift for my 71' F250 Camper Special. Once I get it, I'll start a thread on the before and after with pictures of the install. Heads up it is not cheap, but my front suspension is shot and the front tires are rubbing on hard turns (they are not over-sized tires).
