72 f250 new to me! questions!

so, i just bought my 72 f250, excellent condition. 114000 miles, one little rust spot on the passenger door. all redone interior, no rust on the frame at all. original engine. garage kept for many years. there is NOTHING wrong with it at all, the reason im saying that is because i kinda got it for $400 dollars. haha, yeah. my buddys grandpa thought id be better off with it.

anyways, the questions. well, if i put a body lift on it just to give it a better look..depending on the height i choose, either 2..3..or 4 inches. what exactly would i have to modify so that the truck would run right? and if i put like a 2 inch, is there a possibility that i wouldnt have to modify anything? im just lost because ive never done a body lift. im used to the roadblocks of a suspension lift..because ive done a few for friends.
any info will help! thanks. joel.

Are you telling us you bought a clean 72 crew for $400??? Wow.

IMO, that rig looks so clean that I wouldn't do anything to it except freshen and clean it up. Leave it be... that thing is a survivor.
