So I know im gonna go with a moose pump and mister injectors. I'd also like to repaint and lift my truck. I was wondering if anybody had pictures of what a stock, 2", 4", 6" looked like. Also what company to go with I aint made of money so id like to keep it cheap.

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.

Add A leaf, then get the front end lined up, then you can hold 36-37 inch tires easy, the rear sets high enough from the factory the front just needs some help,

I think my 4" superlift was $900 with shocks but it came with rear blocks not new springs.I do know that it was like an extra $90 for diesel vs. gas.I fit 35 no problem. Now with the dana 60 I could clear 38's.
