NEED HELP TO LIFT 8 INCHES OR MORE

[Victor Expedition]

3 inch body lift and the leveling kit on 35's . That was phase 1 .. before I started the front lift. If you chnage the front end to F150 8 inch lift you will need to change the struts and coils to the rancho 2 inch taller ones and so far 3 spacers on top. .. I am still having trouble to left the rear .. so I wouldn't suggest to start it until you see what kind of work is involved with the rear.. IF YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR THE REAR PLEASSSSSEEEE SHARE thanks brother

@Victor Expedition The rear is definitely why I haven't proceeded with raising the truck more. The only thing I could think of is to see what rize did and if there was a way to copy or if someone was selling the old kit or in a junkyard. I am currently maxed at 3.5 F & 2.5 R. I would like to go 1 inch more just all suspension for better ground clearance and go to 37" (currently on 35")

Have you tried those coil spacer blocks that stiffen the coil springs and raise your truck 1-1.5” higher? I bought a set of them and they do the trick!!!

@Expd830 I am currently using 3.5 F & 2.5 R blockes/leveling kit to get the lift I have. The angles on the suspension are maxed so I cannot add any additional lift. Unfortunately, the after-market does not help our gen2.

Does your truck have coilovers at all?

Change of plans . No Ranchos.. going to try the coils overs .. and swapping the entire rear end to straight axel. The rize kit is insanity complicated to copy. A million parts..

Would be cool to see some photos as you make your way through the axle swap.
