Default Lift Kit

anyone know where to get a suspension lift kit for a 95 f350 2wd? all the ones i can find are only 4wd and i dont wanna do a body lift or add a leafs. i was thinkin bout doin a adjustable air ride? anyways is the 4wd suspension really any different than 2wd other than its taller? thanks

i do believe your truck has the twin i beam front suspension. ive made a few kits . it pretty easy. you need to measure your factory springs talk to a spring company and get the apropriat height spring. you must make drop brackets for your i beams or your tires will toe in horribly. the rear portion of the lift is a cake walk. either blocks or the same lift springs from a 4x4 kit. agin talk to the people you get the front springs for and they will hook you up.

its been a long time since i looked at the 2wd lift stuff. im sure you can get some stuff but not much over a 3 in unless you fab it up yourself. really not that hard to do. good luck

4 or 6 inch Sky Jacker 2WD KIT from Top Gun Customz.

80-96 Ford F250/F350 2 Wheel Drive - Top Gun Customz

Under the options there is a pitman arm, I would get that as well. FYI, nitrogen shocks will make it ride STIFF! If you want a smoother ride, get the hydraulic shocks.

I just re-read that and it says not for 460 or diesel, grrrr. It looks like a call to Sky Jacker would be in order. Why would anyone have an F250/350 without a 460 or diesel!?!

ha! calling you out. my buddy has a 97 F250 2WD with a 7.3 and it has the twin i beam. i know the F SUPERDUTY's had the solid axle. what was the other gas engine option for a 3/4 and 1 ton pickup? 351?

i know up to 07 on the 250/ 350 have a twin i beam. then 450/550 have a solid. the SD solid is basically like the 4wd axle with out the diff. they might have changed it after 08.
