body lift??
Hey, I have a 1999 F-250 ext. cab long box 4x4. I started out looking for tires now I am thinking about a body lift to fit even bigger tires and rims lol.
so anyway im in college have a limited budget and i want a decent body lift like 3"-4" maybe I don't go off roading to much just in a few fields, more of a daily driver. What is my best bet for looking into and would i be able to do it in weekend with the help of one other person?
thanks again

Just do a 3" shackle in the front and some stock f350 blacks in the rear.
Get the shackles from Sanderson Welding on Ebay:

I found these its a 2 1-2" but they should work to right? I would assume this is pretty simple to do with 1 or to people?
