what size is the lift? The rear spring will fit if you drill out the rear shackle (atleast I think that is what needs to happen) the front springs are too long to go on your truck.

i think it might only be a 2 or 4 i'm not sure cause we just got the truck. i hav a 2in leveling kit for mine now but didnt want it yet for that fact of the truck squatin while towing somethin. if its a 2in lift you think it would look fine with a 2in leveling on my truck?

if its just a 2 inch lift kit it probably just has rear lift blocks but I don't know for sure. What kind of parts did they take off?

if you are afraid of yours squatting after the lift you can swap your rear spring block for a 350 rear block and get an extra 2 inches out back

thats what wes told me. cause i was thinkin bout the 2 inch leveling with the 350 blocks. the truck levels out now when loaded. i don't want it to squat and with the truck already level before loading i think it might squat more than what i want when loaded

When I did the leveling kit on my 95 f-250 it sat 1/2 inch higher in the rear but it was too close and looked like it sagged in the rear even without a load. so fi the springs or blocks will work it will be a good move to get 2 inches. With mine I just went 3/4 inch and it was good but more is always better!
