i just bought this lift of a kid for 150 buks, the thing is, im not even sure if this is for my truck . if it is i wasnt sure if it was all SJ parts. a couple of the parts say skyjacker but....anyway , he said the leafsprings were SJ but they have a ford part number? and he gave me blocks for the rear so i wasnt sure if i was supposed to stack the blocks on top of my factory blocks or are the leafs going to provide enough lift?i could use any help i can get identifying what parts are what and if i got screwed over. i looked at skyjacker website but some of the stuff looks a lil different. thanks

I see 2 radius arm drop brackets, 2 coils, and 2 axle drop brackets and a black square.

yeah the black square is one of the rear blocks i think , there is two of those as well just didnt have one in the pic,lol. does this look to be everything i need (minus shocks) to lift my 93 ranger? the kid said it was but i was a lil unsure. thanks
 
i dont see any extended brake lines, u bolts, drop pitman arm or sway bar drop brackets (if you wanted them)
 
thats something i would of forgot to get until the problem came up during installation, thanks im gonna get some brake lines made. i have the u bolts but no sway bar bracket, is that a necessary part?
 
Not overly, most chuck em in the trash anyways.

You do need a drop pitman arm still. That is a must.
 
oh and the bloody knuckles and the cussing and the case of beer for your friend to help you
 
thanks guys yall helped me out a ton. drop pitman arm,new brake lines,shocks AND last but NOT LEAST , A KEG OF BEER!!!! :beer: ,cause im gonna need alot of help from alot of friends! :icon_thumby:
 
removing everything is easy, you can do that by yourself no prob. i mostly cut everything out instead of taking it apart. lol. i was switching out front axles, so it was going to the scrapper. i had to have my dad help me with some of the install though.
 
One thing I do not see is the Transmission crossmember. I had the Class 2 so I had extended radius arms, trans X-memeber. My kit came with extended endlinks for the front sway bar and extended brake lines as well as a bunch of various nuts and bolts. My brackets looked a little different but that was based on it being a class 2 I believe.
 
Stock trans crossmember stays put with the radius arm drop brackets.
 
don't stack rear blocks, please...
use the blocks and leafs, see what you get. adjust after that... but no stacked blocks.
 
ok i cleaned the so called "skyjacker" leafs the kid gave me and they appear to be factory . they have a ford part number and f6 , so i figure they are factory leaf pack. the blocks he gave me dont seem to much bigger than the factory ones,surely that wont be enough so i guess im goin to save up for different shackles for the rear to acquire the extra inches...thanks again

Be sure to get a Skyjacker pt# FA600 drop pitman arm for it.
In spite of marketing claims, cheaper run-of-the-mill drop arms aren't dropped down enough for use at 6" of lift. The $100 cost difference of the larger arm should easily be made up 10× over just in reduced tire wear alone (not to mention better handling).
