If you are going to put a lift kit on and spend all that money, you may as well do it right. Check out www.marlincrawler.com or www.allprooffroad.com. More expensive, but much better performance and it has all the necessary parts, such as hi steer, something you will appreciate with 5" of lift and larger tires.

My vote is Marlin or All-pro as well.
Both make good kits from what I have heard. As stated above you need an ifs steering box from 86-95 for the high steer setup.
You'll be much happier with that!

The skyjacker 5" springs are pretty stiff. Their 3" springs are by far the best "mass produced" front spring on the market. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or run them on my own vehicle. However, they are no cheaper than Marlin or AllPro.

Anyone know of springs that dont need the hangers moved? i dont have the skill for that yet. if i had the cash i think i would go with the all pro kit. Is everything in that kit that i really need? I was just thinking i could use cheaper shocks and i dont need the shock hoops. I would just use ford ones. You know bring the price down so i could get that kit.
thx for the help mike

You did some fender trimming, do a little firewall trimming and you can stuff 35's under there with 3" of lift.
I think All Pro makes some stock length 4"-5" lift springs if you want to go that way.
