lift blocks
1977 F-150 d44 up front 9" in the rear (solid axles weep and be jealous of the greatest treasure on an old truck)
i want to get 4" suspension lift for my truck but i also wanna go a lil bigger so my friends told me to go with 1" lift blocks (dont confuse this with a body lift) problem is lift blocks are only for the rear but they said i could use them up front is this possible

go with a 6 inch kit and be done with it - I saw that sellers on ebay sell 6 inch kits for around 400.00, if I am not mistaken.
Most sane people will not use blocks in the front with leaf springs, especially with highway driven trucks.
so get a kit that was designed for your truck, and everyone will be happy.
Just my two cents.

While your F150 has front coils springs, so a coil spacer would have to be used, it is still not the greatest idea in the world. Khadma makes a very good suggestion by just getting a 6" get from the beginning, then you don't have to get creative with additional blocks and spacers.

Most of the time it is illegal, and it is unsafe/stupid.
Like previously stated, it's a F150 so there are coils up front.
Just do a 4" lift, and forget about the blocks. For the rear lift, keep the stock blocks, and consider the shackle flip captain p4 suggested. As for coils, just don't get rough/tough country or super lift(a suggestion would be www.broncograveyard.com 's deaver super flex coil springs).
What size tires do you plan on and what kind of wheeling?
