99 f250 ld vs f150 lift???

Im a newbie to the ford world. I got a 99 f250 light duty ext cab 4x4 withe the 5.4L. I put 3" body lift and 3" blocks in the rear, and 3" torsion keys in the front. I wanna clear 37s but the front still sets a little low for me. I found a 4-5i ifs lift for the f150s nothing for the 250 ld I called part store and the steering knuckles are the same for both trucks. Every thing I have read so far is nothing real big with the difference between the two. Except gears, stiffer frame, some tranny, and the 7 lug. So will the f150 kit work from rough country? Please help

You might have to email rough country to find out, but I have seen some that say they fit f150 both the regular one and the 7700 series like you have so I think it would.

But dang 3" torsions keys? Those things are horrible.

Keys were a bad idea bud. i woulda cranked the stock t-bars. Im betting the kits will match up. look at the link, and i would decode the front t-bars. i think they are the same as the 150's there is a link. top is suspension do's and dont's

As far as I know, everything should be the same. The front t-bars just probably have a different spring weight.

What about the hubs? Are they a different bolt pattern? And I dont mean the 7 lug compared to the 5 lug, I know the 5 bolt hubs are held in with 3 bolts but I'm not sure about the 7 bolt ones, havent had a chance to look at mine yet.

Every thing fit right on the money I didn't have to change any thing calipers fit too. Looks good. Tires sit below the hole body with the 3"body lift and 5"rims rough country suspension. Now just need some 37s to slap on

nice! I also have the f250 ld and I've been trying to figure out for a while how to lift it. Can you tell me the exact lift kit that you got? And could you post some pics of the truck?
