Need help with adding lift
 
I currently have a 4 inch suspension lift on my 05 f250. What would i have to do to upgrade it to a 6 inch suspension lift? would i have to change the whole lift or just bigger springs in front and blocks in the back?

A front spacer and a set of blocks would work. Your shocks could be upgraded to some Bilsteins for about $300 that would be perfect for the 6" lift. Otherwise the shocks can work, but don't go extreme off-road.

what do you mean by a front spacer? and so all id need is spacer, blocks, and new front/rear shocks?

what about the coil springs in the front?

Spacer for the coil. Id rather have a coil for the new lift and just make or buy some blocks for the rear and hopefully you have some slack in all your lines.

Would it cause problems having just the spacers? or ride rougher? and this is for on road use only. Not interested in sinking my daily driver in mud. haha

Whats the purpose of lifting it then?

Stroker815 04-25-2013 07:26 PM

Why lift it? Because he can. Doubt spacers will make it ride rougher mainly tires do that. Decent shocks that are valved correctly improves ride. Also having tire pressure correct for the front and rear and balanced correctly.

I might give the spacers a try then and then find me a good set of shocks. On a somewhat tight budget but this truck is new to me and is 4 inches shorter than my last one so I feel so low to the ground. haha Thanks for the help yall

Np. Don't go cheap on shocks. Get a decent brand or you will just be replacing quicker than expected.
