Question Lift kits

Hi Y'all!

It's me again...

I'm thinking seriously about lifting my 78 F150 4x4 so I can put 33's under it.

1.Who makes the best-engineered lift kit (4") for my truck?

2. Will there be any trade-offs in drive-train durability/longevity by lifting the truck 4"?

3. Looking at Bronco Graveyard website, a 1-2" leveling kit is offered for my truck. Will that mess up any suspension geometry causing premature wear? Will that provide enough clearance for 33" tires?

Thanks!
Scott

If you haven't already, try a search. All the questions you asked have been covered extensively in the past.

I'm sure you'll read this if you do a search but depending on the condition of your springs, you should already be able to fit 33"s without a problem. Some guys here on the board have run 35"s without lift. Just some fender trimming.
