Simple Lift Question
O.k. here's a good simple lift question. I have a '78 f150 supercab longbed 4x4 All I want to know is with a 4 inch lift is there anything other than installing the new leafs, and shocks along with a drop pitman arm necessary. Does anybody know if the pinion angle is ok with this minimal lift? Realistically all I wanna be able to do is fit some nice beefy 35's under it. I use this truck everyday for work and play so. I'm not wanting to spend a ton of money on crap I don't need.

Shouldn't need anything else. Maybe extended brake lines if you're going with a super flexy suspension, but I doubt it... most likely they can be rerouted either way. The supercab f150s come with leaves up front, right? If not you'll need things to correct the radius arm geometry.

Hi James. Welcome to FTE.
Hope you don't mind but I put your post and Paul's reply as a seperate thread so it doesn't get lost in that other Lift? thread.
I tried to contact you privately but you have all contact methods turned off.

Hey no problem. I was actually kind wondering about that after I read through all that stuff, and posted.
Yea it's leafs up front. I had somebody that had a dent side tell me thats all I would need to do because "that's all I did" so I just wanted to make sure before I started tearing things apart.
