Lift?

1995 ford f150 inline 6

im wanting to lift my truck 3 or 4 inches, what would be the cheapest way to go?

would it be possible to add a leaf in the back and put on some taller coil springs in the front and be done with it? or is there more to it?

yeah that would work. a 3" BL would be cheaper. depends on how cheap you want it to be.
plus you'll only get about 2-2.5 in for the AAL and coils.

I have looked into body lift in the past, but they would always have a note in small print that would say, not for 6 cylinder on 92-96. Does anyone know what causes the problem on a I6? Never researched it much

There is a write-up on this site somewhere about moving the hose...try searching you may find it. I'm pretty sure it has good pics to help.


...here it is, posts 8 and 9 give an explination and show an after pic. The whole thread might be helpful
