Hey Cas1, I'm not the most familiar with those series of trucks, but in a little research it looks like they use a leaf to lift the front... I think adding a block would achieve the same thing, though I would be inclined to add ladder bars for stability, similar to what is done if using a large lift block on the rear of the truck. I'm sure someone with more knowledge than I will chime in.

I'm fairly certain it is illegal to use blocks on the front of a leaf sprung truck, not only that it's also dangerous. Unless this is a strictly an off road vehicle, I highly advise not to use lift blocks in the front of your truck.

Cas1, 4in Suspension Lift Kit for 77.5-79 Ford 4wd F-250 Lowboy Pickup [415.20] | Rough Country Suspension Systems This would probably be the best way to go. I would suspect that a drop shackle bracket would be a better choice than using a block, but the lift in the link for $500 is a pretty good buy, and then its done right.
What part of the country are you in?
