Really, it would vary in cost by who makes it. Rancho, skyjacker, Superlift, Rough Country? Which would you prefer. It could be 600-900 dollars for a 4" lift. Then, even though 4 inch's isnt too extreme, you would probably want to consider new rear end gears to make up for the bigger tires you would be using. For a 4" lift, I would say 35 or 36 inch tires would be fine to put on there. Depending on what brand/style of tire you got the cost for the tires could be quite high, looking at maybe a grand for some super swampers. Or if you just want regular radial street tires 35 inch high, it would be a couple hundred. Then you have to think altercations to your driveshaft and such. Like I said 4" isnt extreme, but it may not be a bad idea to think about changes to your driveshaft to make up for the new angle it would be on, or else you could be looking at blown u joints left and right. Just look through different sites for your truck and get a idea of which lift you would like to use. Skyjacker and Rough Country are the 2 top lifts that come to my mind.

Holy Crap is right, where is the elevator to get up in that thing? 30" lift with 54" tires?
There is a guy on the Super Duty and Heavy Duty Thread that has a 2000 F-350 with a 24" lift going for 32" lift. The post name is Monster Truck, its a nice ride.

i bought stuff from these two topguncustomz.com and rockymountainsusp.com they have good prices on lifts and are great people to deal with. On this model truck i would stick to skyjacker or superlift springs they seem to hold up and ride very well and procomp makes good lifts also

dre there is a place in Orlando where i live that custom make them I'll try to find the number tomorrow night when i get off work they are really good. some problems though with one piece long shafts is they start to act like a whip so u need to go large diameter and a thick wall tubing on the shaft for a long wheel base truck mine is 5.5 diameter 3/8 thick. but i run a two piece rear I am just gonna lower my carrier bearing assembly when i Lift mine I was also quoted about 300-400 depending on the ujoints That i decide to go with. I had a 78 bronco with military's under a while back that we got a set of concrete truck drive shafts and modified them to fit but that would be so over kill on a moderate 4" lift but would be bomb proof.

I mean I live in Miami, Fl where most of my 4x4 days are done on muddy Everglades, but I'd definitely would like to make sure that I am not going to have an axle snap on me while on a date or anything like that you know. Bigtruckkpl let me know what you find out for me I'm only 4hrs from Orlando anyways and I am overdue for a visit with my parole officer Mickey. lol
