Does anyone know where to get some lift front spring hangers for a 1978 f250? I found a well equiped truck with only a 3 inch lift and i want to fit 36's and later 38's. I already found a 4.5 inch shackle flip. please help!

I've never seen anything like that.
Either you'll have to swap to larger springs, or get something fabbed.

Fabtech makes them for super duty's. I'm just gunna get 6 inch springs and do the shackle flip in the back. Thanks for trying!

AirSmitty,

I made my own for my '75 F250. Try these guys once if you don't want to get new springs.
