Hey there!

I drive a truck that I never see listed on any pages with lifts...and I want to raise it up!

It is a 1998 Ford F250 4x4 (with the F150 body style if you know what I mean). I see things for superdutys all the time, but nothing for my truck!

I currently run 285/75/16s on it stock, and would like to get a 3 inch body lift or 4 inch suspension lift...if I could find one.

Can anyone help a mudder out?

Thanks a million!

Maine Mudder

 

I'm pretty sure that Performance Accessories makes the 3" body lift for your truck...Most suspension lifts I've seen for your F-250 4x4 are all under the "Superduty" category. Hopefully someone else has input on this! Welcome to the board, and get ready to spend money after everyone's done with you.

Hi Mudder...lol.

Pretty much everybody out there makes a lift for your truck. Rancho, Superlift, Trailmaster...etc... Just check out the web sites, or 4x4 magazines for the applications.

The Performance Accessories 3" lift is the same for the F250 "LightDuty." I just did a lift on mine a few weeks back. As for suspension lift, I couldn't answer that, sorry.

Rock on!

Thanks guys, that should help! I'm gonna look into the Performance Accessories lift to see if it is applicable.

Can't wait to get this thing in the air..hehe.


Now I gotta get some engine hop ups to squeeze a little more HP outta this bad boy... Im hopin to run 315/70/16s on it, and the poor 4.6 is gonna need a chip and some help!

Thanks again all, appreciate the help!

Hey Maine Mudder I know Superlift makes a kit for your truck. And as Mudder said I am sure the other big companies do to. You may have to talk to them sometimes their applications are vague. try www.superlift.com

 

There is a guy around here who was running the 4" Trailmaster lift on his F250LD. If I remember correctly, I think he took it off and sold it to a guy who has an F150. So what Im saying is, Im 99.9% sure the F250LD's will take the same lifts as the F150's. Just to be sure, I would call one of the big 4 susp lift companies and just ask them.

 

So far I have gotten replies from Rancho and Tuff Country saying that they do NOT make suspension lifts for the F250 other than super duty... And they thought the F150 lift wouldn't fit... ACKKKK

Still waiting to hear back from TrailMaster and Superlift- Got my fingers crossed!

And I still haven't found a link to Performace Accessories..could someone with this lift give me a contact addy or #?

Thanks a million!
MM
