Lift recommendations..
I would like to lift my 76 F100 4x4 enough to fix 35's. What is the best way to lift this truck without killing my wallet. I am not partial to any brands. I am new to the 4x4 world so any help/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

A 4" lift will clear 35s with no rubbing on even the roughest terrains.
I'd say look at jeffsbroncograveyard.com for some ideas.
If you put 7 degree c bushings you might be able to get away without needing radius arm drop brackets(look at the 14 peice c bushing set, gives you what you need to replace warn out parts for $48).
Get some 4" lift coils($120 or so) for the front along with a 4" Drop pitman arm($50 or so) and some extended brake lines($35 or so). For the back put 3" blocks(about $25-40) or a 3" add a leaf or do a shackle flip(3" $15 for 4 grade 8 bolts).
You might need a drop track bar bracket also($32) or get a adjustable track bar($120).
I'm getting a 6" lift and I need all the same things just a little bigger plus drop down radius arm brackets and b/c I have sway bars and for some reason I'm keeping them I'm getting a drop link for them too.

Thanks also. This might be the cheaper way out! But not as much lift..
