Body Lift Question
I have a 99 F-250 extended cab long bed 2wd. I have been loking for a body lift kit for it but everyone i found says not for diesels. If anyone knows were to find one the help would be appreciated. thanks

None exist that I am aware of. It would cost too much for manufacturers to build one since they would have to provide provisions for relocating the intercooler as well as custom tubing for it.
Add-a-leafs and extended shackles are pretty reasonably priced, and are safer (IMO) than body lifts.

i dont see any reason for a body lift. you can fit pretty big tires on these trucks stock. a suspension lift is the way to go and sometimes it will be easier than putting on a body lift and with a suspension lift you will gain some ground clearance too
