so im gonna start this thread to help those of us whom wanna lift their truck atleast 3 inches, and not blow the bank. it will involve some wrench time, but NO WELDING OR CUTTING OF THE FRAME.
Note, not my truck. but who evers, its pretty dope.
anyways, what i am starting with are two 4x4 lift blocks. Fords cheap way of jacking a otherwise normal truck.
I picked up these blocks from my local junk yard for $20. i swiped a U bolt so i knew what size id be dealing with, and went and ordered a set from ford. they are about 60 for new U bolts per side where i went.
Now thats a simple bolt in 2 inches in the rear. But to level things out we need to smooth things out.
Now you have 2 options. NOTE: im dealing with coil spring, i know some 2wd are T Bar.
for coil, you can make or buy coil spacers:
now this method will give you the height you want, but can mess with your suspension. If you say NAW to that, Your on my page.
I am going to be purchasing a set of lift spindles that will bring me up 3 inches in the front. Now since i sit and inch higher in the back as it is, Ill be level. and since i dont haul much of anything, it will work perfectly.
if after all this youd like to raise the back more, you can buy and ad a leaf kit for another inch or so in the back.
The blocks will cost you at most 150, the spacers can be free, and the spindles are about 500. the add-a-leaf is around 150 as well.
together with a body lift, you can get 5 inches of lift for under $1000
considering a normal 5 inch lift is alomst 2000, im ahead of the game! i will post pics of before and after as well.

14x6's are awesome. Can't wait till I get some TSL's on em though!
Reminds me of the old Rumble Bee's and Super Bird's. Killer idea in the first place. It gives it a touch of personality.
