well im on a highschool budget and i was wonderin what yall thought of 3inch blocks in the rear and the shocks and front springs of a 1995 f150 to give me a 3.5inch lift in the front

or is there a better way to do a lift for real cheap
anythin will help

 

I wouldn't go anything over 1" on a lift block, especially if you plan on keeping your stock leafs out back. Look into building a bastard pack for the rear.

 

i heard people talkin about bastard packs,but what exactly is it?

 

its a homemade leaf spring. use the search button and you will find all the info needed. blocks are bad. they cause axle wrap that ruin leafs, drivelines, and ujoints.

 

thanx for the help,im glad i kno that now

 

Use Grand Cherokee V8 front coils instead of the F150 springs. The Ford springs will be way too stiff.

 

Im running 4in blocks under my 89, cept for some saggy springs, i have ZERO problems with it, and the truck was built by my uncle, like 4 or 5 yearssssss ago. its given my no other issues. the jeep dosent see much road time tho

 

how much of a lift will the grand Cherokee springs give me?

 

They'll get you about 1-2" of lift. If you want any bigger for cheap get a 1, 1.5", or 2" spacer for the front. Then for the rear build a bastard pack.
