need help deciding lift for 350 4x4 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

i recently bought a 1993 f350 4wd non-turbo diesel and i was trying to figure out what would be the best way to go.

The front axle is the solid type axle(no independent) and I also want to arch the front springs in the front because they lay flat now.I was thinking of skyjacker since the color of my truck is emerald green and that would look pretty with the red and white shocks but i was also thinking of going with pro comp but either way i gotta get that truck lifted.I was trying to stay around 1,000 as the most i would spend since i just put 2 brand new tires for $500 and a system for $800 and window tint for $85.

When I get my digital cam up and going I can show you truck.

Another question i had is that if i get 6 inches of lift will i still be able to tow?

you can run 35's by shimming the front bumper.

Now all you need to do is get down pat that you dont post usless shit in the tech section

you never mentioned what you were looking for rubber wise. With 6" of lift on that thing and some convincing you could fit 39.5's easily

I'm still undecided as far as rubber since I just spent $500 last week for 2 Bfg all terrain tires (285/75 16)

what's wrong with 285's? you wanna tow with it.
