78 F250 lift tricks..

[Johnny]

Give me some ideals boys.... I've got my brothers old F250 that I'm gonna wheel until I get my Bronco done..... I need some cheap tricks to lift it, because I don't wanna throw much money at it, as it will take away from the Bronco... Thought about cutting the fenders, but I might use it as my pull truck after it's done wheeling.... not sure yet though...

My old 78 250 had a neg arch front spring pack, so I had a positive set built. You could just stack a main leaf from the rear in the front pack. Rear you could cheaply just use a block (I know but you said cheap)
Take care of the shaft length and shocks you be done.

How big of tires do you have to go on it? A F250 normally sets high enough to fit 33" without much problem (probably 35s).

Blue79 is right on the front springs being a negitive arch. I've helped buddy's swap chebby 1/2 tons with 3/4 ton fronts and they make a nice 3-4 inch lift. I'd say either find 1 tons or get something that fits with a positive arch and stuff an add a leaf in the rear and wheel away. I think as long as you don't go too wild stock shafts shouldn't be to much of a problem.

shackle flip in the rear with a cheap 60 buck or so longer shackle.

I threw a set of 35's on today... they fit but not by much.... thought about the shackle flip like Jopes meantioned...
