I haven't actually done any work yet, as I'm still waiting for all my parts to come in, but I figured I'd start the thread and let you guys know what I'm up to.
I'll be removing my progressive body lift that starts at 3" in the front and goes to 0" in the rear. It's going to be leveled out to a uniform 1.5" all around. Then I'm going to ditch my F-150 spring front for a Superlift 5.5" kit with extended radius arms. I'll be adding Skyjacker Nitro shocks, 4" pitman arm, swaybar disconnects, and SJ stainless brake lines all around. I'm going to add a power steering cooler as well, since the longer pitman arm will tax the steering a bit more.
Should be sitting around 7" for lift then, and flex MUCH better than it does now, as well as drive better on the road. I have a set of Jeep coils I was going to use up front, but decided against it. From searching around it appears that many people have issues with those coils on the road, and this truck gets driven as much as 4 hours one way to the trail.
Brake lines, pitman arm, and shocks were purchased from TRS fab, for some pretty good prices. Thanks Jim!
I bought the 5.5" lift used for only about $400, and the previous owner, mtwheelin, has already done a great job beefing up the weak points on that system.
