Default 04 F-250 lift kit help

My friend is looking to lift his ford from a 6 inch on 37s up 2-3 more inches to easily clear 38s. I dont really know too much about his truck besides its leaf springs all the way around with blocks. So i was wondering if all he needed was new blocks and shocks or if there was something else, and where i could find these parts for him. Any help is appreciated
Thanks, Taylor

Just to add 2-3 inches blocks and shocks should be all he needs

Did he look into doing a shackle flip? Pretty easy to do and should net him a few inches depending on shackle length.

Fabtech makes a shackle/front hanger mount that adds about 3". As for the rear...we need to know if he has blocks already or...???
