Want to lift my 2WD F250!

I found this suspension lift kit and I want to know if it will fit my '94 F250
2wd. It says it's for 1980-1996 F150/Bronco but were these parts possibly the same on the F250 back then?

Here's the link.

any help, advice, or steering me in the right direction would be a BIG help as I am new to lifting trucks and all that. Thank you for reading.

I dont think the kit you are looking at will work, however....

Looks like skyjacker has a kit that will work for you in either 4" or 6" here is a link you can use: http://www.topguncustomz.com/Store/p....php?S_ID=3311

Ya I was looking at that kit. Hoping I wouldn't have to buy that one. But I guess I'll have to bite the bullet. No other way. Thank you though.

But what is the point of the offered Pitman arm you can buy?

And what kind of shocks could I use? Would I need longer ones? I DONT want to use the stock shocks.

the front spring rate is different from the f150 because the f250 is a heavier truck... also the front radius arm brackets are different... the I-beam brackets are the same though

its to keep the steering alighend and keep it from binding while you turn

also you'll need longer brake lines for anything over 4 inches

So I think I'll go with the Pitman arm. It's only about $88.

I think I saw some extended brake lines offered from Skyjacker that I'll be sure to pick up as well.

What about extended steering/control arms? Wouldnt I need those if I'm doing a 6 inch lift?

nope! i did a 6 inch lift, all you need is the dropped pitman arm

and make sure you get braided stainless lines, i didnt and ended up chafing a hole in one of the lines on the interstate in colorado... mountains, highway speed, no brakes with a semi blocking the road about a 1/4 mile down... scared the living hell outa me!
