Best deal on a rough country lift, for a '79 f250?

[blue83ranger]

I'm fixing up my dads '79 f250 4x4 and i'm currently painting the axles and going through the brakes. It needs at least new rear springs, but i've decided to just get a suspension lift kit so i for sure get all the parts i need. Just based on price the plan, so far, is to go with a 4 inch rough country lift with rear springs. So, my question is does anyone know of a place that can beat the cheapest price i found of $876 shipped? (it has a dana 44 front) and since i'll eventually get to putting the body on the frame i also need a complete body bushing and bolt kit too. I haven't looked at all for that, but if someone knows where i can pick up a set that would be great too. thanks

Just check the usual 4x4 hear sites. Not much else besides Ebay or craigslist.

That's probably not a bad price

That's what i kinda figured, I just didn't want to miss out, if someone knew of a big sale somewhere. I'll still hold off just a little longer to see if anyone knows of a place. thanks

the kit with rear leafs is $780 straight from RC.. after shipping I bet that above price ain't to bad overall.

I'd personally just piece I kit together. All it consists of is coil springs, track bar drop bracket ( I'd make an adj. one ), and radius arm drop brackets and/or c-bushings and a drop pitman arm.

or this $245 for a kit with blocks. And 350 or so for 4" complete spring packs.

The price i found was $760 and the shipping was $116.

The kit is going on a f250, so it has leaf springs front and back not coils. I priced around a few places just for springs and they were higher than the complete RC kit which has all the hardware and shocks. and the old hardware didn't survive, the rust in spots was pretty bad. Both of the rear shackles were rusted through.
