Hi all,

I want to put a 3 to 4 inch lift kit on a 79 ford f250 supercab longbox. What brand of lift kit should I buy...and from whom should I buy it from??

Thanks in advance!

2WD or 4WD?

2WD - www.autofab.com

4WD - www.rockymountainsusp.com is a good place to start

I put a 4'' ranch on my buddys 77 f-250 and it rides pretty smooth and wasnt bad to put on besides putting the spacer under the acronym arm on the knuckle, pain to get the studs out.

no it all worked fine i think you have to if you go up to 6'' just length the brake lines or relocate them down further from the frame if you want to go cheap.
