Not a good start
Putting a 4'' lift on my 91 F150 and first bolt I took out was frozen solid. Finally got it out and the next one was stuck worse. Only a million more to go! Gonna have to cut the rear shackle bolt on both sides. I picked up a nice set of 5 leaf F250 leaves to replace the broken stockers. They look much taller than my leaves. Any idea how much taller the truck will sit in the rear? I am trying to avoid any blocks. I have a sky mfg shackle flip that I can use if the 250 springs wont make up the height difference. I would be ditching the stock block ofcouse with the shackle flip. Any input?

Yea, I hit them all with PB blaster a few days ago and again before I started. The rear ones are seized in the bushings pretty good. Inpact gun cant turn them and all a big breaker bar does is load up the springs...

Leaf spring bushings are my least favorite part of a vehicle. Light those suckers on fire and burn them out, it's really the only way.
