Going from a 4 to a 6in lift?

I have a 94 f-150 with a 4in RC lift. i would thinking about changing to a 6in RC lift. now since i have alot of the essential parts, would the only parts i would need to get is the springs and the blocks or would there be more? And would you say this is worth it or just a waste of money?

ya id say grab some rear springs that a 4 inches taller than current ones and drop the rear blocks....then grab 2 inch taller front springs...you SHOULD be able to lift that truck 6 inches without needing to extend stuff...lots of guys have done it but if you plan on a lot of flex you will want longer brake drop lines...id do them anyways just for the hell of it

sorry for the double post but im with UTF all the way...scrap the RC yeah its cheap but i have heard very few cases of good RC products very hit and miss if you go with my idea the price difference between the RC springs and say superlift will be no more that 100 for front and rear springs combined

ok what about if i just wanted to lift the front up a little more? i mean i already have the extended brake lines from the 4in lift. could i just swap out the 4in lift springs for the 6 in, since the front does sag?

to get it a bit more level you mean? if you already got ext. brake lines and stuff for a 4" lift you could just do some spring spacers but ive heard some good and some bad come from them id probably never use em unless i went to 33s with no lift or somethin or lie i said you got 4" springs on there now...grabe some 6" slape em in an be done..sell your old ones one here

Yes, just buy 6 inch lift coils (Skyjacker part # 186). Move inner pivot points to the lower set of holes.
