are you talking a body lift or a suspension lift? A body lift would work... not sure about a suspension lift.

F-250 and F-350 suspensions are the same until the F-350 went to a solid front axle in 86, so it should work.

keep in mind, it depends which TTB the f-250 has...ford ran the dana 44HD, and the dana 50...two totally separate front ends...when you look at them side by side, there's definitely some obvious differences...sheer size, on the 50's part, for one...lol...

I believe the spring perches on all F-250's and 350's are the same width. I think that the only difference between a 250 and 350 are the axle ratings. They both have the same length springs, so new leaves will fit without having to move the shackles.

The '84 F250 and F350 have the same TTB suspension.

The only differences are that the F350 had a Dana 50TTB until '85.5 where it got a Dana 60 monobeam.

but you still think that the 6 inch lift kit from tuff country will work on my F-350 without any modifications. i dont know where i can get the extended brake lines for it though, cuz they dont come with the kit.

yes.

they have the same suspension.

www.jackit.com has extended brake lines. I'm sure there are several vendors that have them.

i just talked to a guy at an off road shop, and he said that the tuff country kit is a p.o.s. he told me that skyjacker makes a good quality kit, but i dont know how much its going to cost. the other kit was $900. how much do you think it should be?

skyjacker's kit will be more. It is a better kit. I'd use it if you plan on pounding your truck hard.

im putting 35xi6 inch boggers in the rear, and making it a super single in the rear instead of dually, and putting 35x10.50 boggers in the front on stock rims. would a 6 inch kit or a 4 inch kit be ok for it. if i can, id like to stick with a 4 inch, but im not sure.
