need help lifting
i am giong to be lifting my 99 f250 here within the next couple months
first off, i believe its an early 99 because of the front fender badges opposed to the door badge with powerstroke on it ??
i was looking into kits but now i have priced something different and i waslooking for an opinion
..is fabtech a decent kit for this model of truck .. i am looking at the fabtech 5.5" front box kit on 4wheelparts.com that has just the front lift .... then i am looking at a rear add-a-leaf and u-bolt kit for the rear. Does this sound like a good setup? I have a pretty signifigant rake currently but i havent measured how much it is yet
to top it all off, i am planning on getting 4 bilstein shocks to put on the corners
this seems like a good setup and all of this is only going to run me about $820 so that said.. im looking from experience here and opinions and knowledge is welcome..im new to the ford family so please help me out here guys
thanks,
nic

820 bucks sounds like a good deal to me. Fabtech lifts are very good quality i just installed an 8" on an 04 f250 and the instructions were straight forward and everything needed was in the kit and only took about 5 hours in the shop on a lift. In the driveway probably would have doubled the time good luck and dont forget to take some pics.
