Odd lift question

I have a 1978 F150 Ranger Supercab 4WD. I went to look for lift kits for it and they're all for a rear leat front coil sprung truck.

Looking under the truck it has leaf springs front and rear.


I can't find a lift kit specific for this vehicle so far. Maybe I should look into a lift kit for an F250 for the same year?? I'm just looking to go 3-4".


Has anyone else run into this and what did you get for a lift?

I went thru the same thing with my '79 F150 SC. You want a lift for and '78-'79 F250 lowboy. I went with a Skyjacker 6" and was very pleased.

Boz,

If that offer is open to anyone, and you don't have any takers yet. I'll be happy to take you up on it!! i just need to find what the shipping cost to Virginia would be. I've been looking to upgrade from 6" to 9" for the last few months, and this seems like an answer to my questions.....

I really don't want a six-10 inch lift. I was looking for a leveling kit for the front or 2.5-4 inches of lift total.
