Question Lift questaon

if a leveling kit (using spring hangers) will lift the front end by approx 2 1/2" is this possible? Use a 4" spring hanger and a F350 rear block. That would raise the rear another 2" and keep the front still level. Does that make sense?

that exact setup works very well... although i dont know who makes a 4" hangar.. fabtech makes a 3.5" and EDGE makes a 4.5" or a 3".. yesterday i helped a friend install 3.5" fabtech hangars and a F350 rear block on his 2003 F250, worked great, sits real level and now he is going to run 33"s no problem, could probably fit 35"s if he wanted to accecpt them rubbing a little.. it was an easy job took 4 hours, and would of taken half that long but FORD loctite's all those bolts and tightens the Shizz out of em.. we broke a breaker bar!

I found a guy on Ebay that builds these spring hangers for the superduty. Any size you want just email him and he will get back with you. www.nixonperformance.com

I think I'm gonna go with a 6" superlift. I found one with blilstein 5100's for $1012.76. $70 bucks for shipping. What due you guy's think? Does that seem like a fair price?

5100's go for around 70ducks....so times 4 = $280....so the lift goes for around $732.76......

Sounds about right....is that with rear blocks as apposed to complete rear springs?
