78 F-250 Supercab Lift

I already have a 6inch suspension lift but not with leafs only shocks and blocks. I was wondering what the outcome would be if I was to put on lift springs.

So... if I put on like a 5.5 inch lift spring in the back and took away the 2 inch blocks would i be able to keep the shocks, and would it be higher. Probably a dumb question.

How did you lift the front? Or are you only talking about the rear...

take out the 2 in rear block and replace the springs rear springs with 5.5 inch lift springs and your truck will sit about 3.5 inches taller, so get 3.5 inch lift springs for the front and your truck will sit level.

The front has a suspension lift on it as well with shocks. So whats the advantages/disadvantages of lift springs.

How much lift does the front have? You can't really lift a truck with shocks usless you're talking about air-shocks but then you should only be talking about the rear suspension on a Mustang or something

Alright, i am confused here.....

It has 3.5" lift springs in the rear with 2" blocks, and 5.5" lift springs in the front?

If it has lift blocks in the front remove them immediately. They are dangerous.....

Dont get big bannna springs, the more springs there is the rougher it will ride...
