Ok finally got it done. not exactly leveled, but I like the way it looks now. I ended up putting the f250 springs up front, which gave me about .5"-1.5" lift (forgot to breakout the tape measure before i put em in), and 1.5" blocks in the rear. Also slapped on some 31's and got new front bumper and grill. Now just gotta get rear bumper to match.

i may be picking up a 95 stepside f150 with a 302/5spd this weekend providing there is no frame rot. looked at it in person but didnt dig through it. the truck has a 3" body lift im not a big fan but ill deal with it and im thinking off adding leveling coils. 2" spacers and i got some 2" blocks kickin around the garage. and if it doesnt sit level then im adding adda leafs or a shackle flip depending on the difference

Those are some
Sweet flares. I would like to have some for mine as well. I got some of the oem fender chrome trim off of my buddy for free but the back didnt fit because mine was a flareside..

its an 84 "flair side" bed it even has steps. in my book any truck where the bed rails are on the frame rails with fenders sticking out to cover the tires is a step side truck with or with out steps
