New guy with questions

I just purchased my first Ford. 1995 f150 4x4 with 26,000 miles. It's practically brand new. I would like to lift it 4" and was wondering if my friends and I can do it with basic power tools. I was told I might need a coil spring compressor. Any suggestions. Also was wondering what size rim (height) comes with Fords. Lastly what is the concensus on the Super Swamper trxus all-terrains. What is the diff. in bias and radial? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!

Sorry, I can't help you with your lift questions. But I was wondering about your truck.
A 1995 f150 4x4 with 26,000 miles?
Some old lady missing her truck?

Good luck with your lift. Post some pics when you're done.

I know it sounds unbelievable. I'm a lucky man! It was an older man's truck who kept it in a barn in his ranch. It was only used to drive the property every once in a while. I purchased this truck for $10,000 and a little change. It's fire engine red, two tone with the gray stripe. 4X4, off road package ( not sure what that means), on 31" tires. I'm going to go to a 33 after the lift. I'm working on posting pics! Oh Official mileage is 26, 800 on this 5.0, 302 V8
