Lifting a 75 F250

Hey guys. What is the best lift for a 75 F250. I'm trying to go for at least 6". Someone suggested have custom leaf springs built becuase I cant find a kit larger than 4". Thanks for the help.

You could do a shackle flip in the rear and make dropped shackles for the front. Check out ivanribic's gallery he did it to his truck.

You could alway put a add a leaf or blocks in the rear if you don't want to do the shakle flip. For the front you could put 1" spacers on the top and the bottom of your coils before instaling them.

I tryed doing a quick search to help you out, but couldn't find higher than a 4, so I would go with blocks and spackes, for the money. OR you could pay someone to make you a set of custom springs, because its your choice.

Good luck,
Matt

Sorry about the spacer idea the fornt of your 250 has leaf springs I think... Well you could put a add a leaf in the front, for at least 2"s and do the same in the rear, with blocks of add a leaf.

Good luck,
Matt

Thanks for the info guys. It looks like my truck already has the add a leaf on both front and rear. But when I went to 4wheel parts the guys told me it was a stock setup. Are you able to fit 35's on a stock 75 F250? cuz thats what I'm running right now.
