200 bucks nets me a 93?(I think)
f350 crewcab. with I guess it would be the 460..:smokin:

another 850 dollars could net me 4 44" boggers on 8lug beadlocks, tires have 65-70 % tread left.

Im thinking yes...
maybe a 100 dollar body lift and cut the holy piss out of the fenders. buy some gears, weld the rear. beat the shit out of it.

soo.. in all honesty would I be better off with an ebay lift like a rough country 4" or is that stupid thinking and stick with the body lift theory because its not really gonna matter?? either way the fenders will meet mister sawzall but I was just curious. the lift kit gonna be worth the extra 200 bucks?

and related question/theory. Am I correct in thinking I could use the driveshaft out of a reg cab f350 and relocate my rear axle and effectively shorten the gifuckingnormus wheelbase..??

does any of this make sense or is this a stupid ghey idea?

sounds like a good deal to me.
get a small body lift and some ebay add a leaves front and rear and do a shackle flip good old fashioned cheap ass redneck lift.
i think you are correct in your thinking with the driveshaft

body lift and sawzall the shit ouuta it

It's not hard to relocate the rear axle, just takes a lot of time to get the fawkin' rivets out of the frame. Then you redo the brake lines, and you're golden :smokin:

even better then spending alot of money. get stock front leaves from a 2wd cab and chassis 1 ton f350 around the same year they have a solid beam in them and have one hell of an arch on them also. they are good for about 6 lift and about $100 for a pair at napa.

Go buy some cheap block for the back and springs for the front then peice together the rest of the crap you need I would not suggest a body kit even though i have one, but your talking about a huge body lift.

there's a guy around here with a 94 or so f250 with a dana 60 swapped in running a 3 inch body lift and 44 boggers. No lift no steering mods nothing. Fenders hadn't been touched so it probably rubbed like a mofo. I was quite surprised that you could fit that size of tire on only a 3 inch body lift.

i am not talking about 8 inch blocks but ya if i was going to do a four inch lift i would rather have it block in the rear than 4 inch body spacers. Of course the best way would be to get lift springs in the back, shackle flip and whatever but this is on a budget. any way to each thier own
