750 isnt going to get you a whole lot and definatly wont get you a lift and tires. what exactly are you looking to do with the truck? is the kit for looks or do you want it to perform offroad? do you plan to tow heavy loads with it or just the occasional car trailer? need more info about what your plans are to give you advice on what kit to get.
but anyways, here is my truck with 6 inches of spring lift, no lift blocks in the rear. at these pics it is turning 36's

with the spring kit you keep the stock blocks. the 250's stock block is a 2 inch, you could swap in a 350 block (4 inch) to get a little extra height. much more then that and you will run into serious driveshaft angle issues. you will have to change to a double cardon front shaft to prevent drive line binding while using 4wd on a 6 inch kit.
stewart, i have a 6 inch skykjacker kit and i have 37's on my truck now

what parts on my truck are you saying are cheesy stamped parts? i think you are nothing more than member who looks to start trouble.
the reverse shackle and superduty springs are fine for a "road queen" you will not get more performance out of the reverse shackle lift offroad.
besides that, he says he doesnt want to go much more then 750 for the lift. just the dana 60 alone is averaging 1200 for just an axle, then you typicly have to go through it and replace ball joints and steering components, add the track bar brackets and buy a longer bar, and you are easily at 1500 for just the axle. then buy the sd springs and shocks and you are way overbudget. AND after that, you have a solid axle instead of an independent front end. the independent axle will perform much better offroad any day of the week and it rides better onroad as well
