suspension question

I see on some trucks that i look at and have noticed that they have 8" suspension lifts, i have a 1989 f250 5.8l 351w and i was wondering if their is an 8" suspension lift kit for this truck?

i don't think so, but you can do a 6in spring lift then use an add a leaf to get to 8in but you'll be breaking everything in that front end and have problems with your camber. i would advise you to find a d60 front axle out of a 350 and just bolt it into your truck since you have leaf springs it is pretty easy
