cheap and lift kit dont go together, especially for the TTB front suspension.
most lift kits for these trucks come with new front springs, axle pivot drop brackets, drop pitman arm and either rear lift blocks or new springs. we put a 6" stage 1 skyjacker lift on my friends 95 F-250, the cost was around a grand for the lift and shocks. u can go with a body lift, they are cheap (about $150) and will net 2-3" of lift. dont try to make ur own leaf pack for the front or the TTB will come down on u lift thor's hammer. oh least i forget extended braided brake lines, u can get by without them, as my friend did, but its not worth it IMHO.
reason i say about cheap is, some drop brackets are made really cheesy, and can stress the frame. seen it on the 1/2 tons many times.
