Help Findin Cheap Drop Bracket
I want to buy Epd444's 4" lift for my rig but since I got a 250 I need the center hinge drop bracket. Problem. I called a few dealers and they are tellin me at least 400 dollars for the bracket itself. At this rate it may pay to either not do the lift or find a cheaper heavy duty bracket. Any help would be appreciated guys. Thanks

Tuff Country's Ford Axle Pivot Brackets - www.jackit.com - The Suspension Experts I think that may be what your looking for. Tuff Country sells the drop brackets for a 4" lift for 180 or 190. Check it out and see if thats right...if not forget this message ever happened lol

Thats still a lot of money!!!
Isn't a whole kit 600? Or is that more for a block type kit?
Still, you can't block in the front without the drop bracket.
I would think you could get this bracket for ... 100-120.

From what i've found a 4" skyjacker suspension lift will run upwards of $1,000. I really wanted to go with the 4" lift but i'd just assume save a couple hundred bucks and do 2" suspension and 2" body

I really like TTB front end, but not enough to deal with all the BS just to add a lift kit.
I'd swap in a d60 front or similar with the new springs under there as well.
Jethro, his lift comes with driveshaft's too right?
Dont want you to get this on there, and have them be to short, or you tear a spline cause you didn't have it on the shaft far enough.
Not sure if those are needed, but seem to be to me.

It does not come with drive shafts, I'm just selling the lift no driveshafts.
On my 350 with a 6'' lift I did not need to do a thing to the driveshafts and its been fine.
Can't tell you on a 250 though
