cheap but good

The wife wants about a 2" lift on our 78 f250 to clear 35s.(nice) I was thinking of using the shackle flip kit from sky in the rear. Would you recomend changing the rear shacle also? What would I do to match the front? Cheap, but good.

hell yeah man! it's nice to have someone come in and already know what he's talking about

check out my gallery for any questions you have on the shackle flip! i did not replace my shackles and i beat the crap outta it. and to raise the front i would make a set of brackets for the springs to mount to but make them about 3-4" longer than stock! that should level you out but i can't say for sure! just have to mess around with it a lil!
