junk yard lifts ?

i gotta '94 and currently just have a leveling kit with 32s, and im wondering what could i get out of a junkyard for the front end to lift it up? im pretty sure i heard you can pull 250 or 350 leafs for the rear, im just not sure how to lift the front of my truck. any input is good.

thanks
mike

If you had added if your 94 was 2WD or 4WD, you may have received some answers.

I'm thinking; since you mentioned 3/4 and 1 ton leafs for the rear you must have a 1/2 ton.

Anytime the 1967-96 Ford IFS (2WD) or 1980-96 TTB (4WD) is lifted,
the front suspension geometry is changed and if not lifted correctly,
the front tires will lean in at the bottom and the tires will wear rapidly on the outer edge and the truck will not "look right" coming down the road.

I have the Rancho 4" Suspension Lift with Long Radius Arms on my 87 F150 4WD
and my front tires do not lean at all and there is no tire wear other than normal for the infamous Ford TTB (Twin Traction Beam).

Maybe someone else will step in, if you respond back with more information.
