hi, i am looking into getting a lift and was looking at this one: http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/I...19042510072373


i have a '93 f150 reg cab 4.9l 4x4. it will be mostly for looks and for very light offroading(i already got my offroader 78 International scout 2). with this kit is there anything else that i should get? also what gear ratios come stock? or where can i look to find out? im sure eventually i would want different ones if i am running bigger tires.

thanks for your comments

Your gear ratio should be listed on the certification label in the driver side door jamb. That kit is cheap but it doesn't look like a very good kit, it doesn't include a dropped pitman arm which you realy need to keep the steering geometry correct. Also i'm not a big fan of lift blocks, i've broken a few of them on previos trucks i've owned so now a always go with lift springs. The blocks are ok if you want them just for looks, but if you buy that kit you definitely should buy a 4" dropped pitman arm to go with it.
