Lift Kits

[taweste]

I recently purchased a 94 F250 IDI, 4x4. I noticed that the front axle is sitting on the bump stops, the leaf springs are shot. I planned on lifting the truck 2in. I could buy stock springs as well as a lift kit but I was wondering if anyone knows of any kits that come with complete leaf springs?

Thanks
Tim

most of the taller kits will come with new front leafs. When i owned a F250, i was gonna buy a tuff country lift kit with new front leafs, add a leafs for the rear, ttb drop brackets and shocks. It was about 1K though.

Rough county lifts are pretty decent. I have a set of sky jacker springs I may try at some point. The F superduty springs ride like absolute crap. At the begining of the day their fine, at the end im in a horrable mood.

Looked at several kits a few years ago, but I changed plans when I found a Dana 60. The best looking kit for the TTB I found was the Skyjacker kit. Their drop bracket for the two halves of the TTB was certainly beefy, but it's not cheap. The Dana 60 lift was less expensive as there is no need for the special bracket, but the price of the 60 offset the savings on the lift.

my thoughts too. take the lift kit money and get a whole d60 front end springs and all.

I'm leaning on the RSK and superduty springs. The Rsk is stated to give you 2.5" of lift, how much are you looking for? You can use SD springs with lift also, just add it to the 2.5" the RSK gives for your total lift. The SD springs are an inch and a half longer and give a better ride. Top it off with some Bilsteins and be a happy camper.

So the superduty springs give a better ride?

Are we talking about F-Superduty (F450) springs........ or............ '99 and up "Superduty" F250's F350 springs? The F-Superduty spring will be as smooth as welding the axle right to the frame.
