Is your truck 2wd or 4wd ?

2wd...i know that makes it harder still,but im not going offroading..

it should eb the same as the other years of trucks. the only thing to worry about is the springs it has on it. if it has the regular leaf springs or the flex o matic leaf springs that mat differ in the kits as to how it lifts the truck. the flex o matic springs were used on the F250 as well as soem F100 trucks.

My 2wd is "lifted".
You have to bend your i-beams and do it all yourself or pay someone else that knows what they are doing, or you can get an autofab kit for a few thousand, which are very nice and will be off-road capable speed wise.

so...i have two diffrent awnsers,and i need to know witch one is right/better

the flex o matic are rear springs that make no difference on lifting you truck, the rear of your truck would be lifted with lifting blocks between the rear and the leafs to lift the rear. the front lift on your truck would go like 1971 says. you could buy new front springs for the front and have your I beams bent to align the front, buy some lifting blocks and Ubolts for the rear. new shocks and rubber brake lines will also be needed for lifting.

so either way i have to have the ibeams bent?

Pretty much, that or you'd have some serious camber especially with 4" of lift. But to do it right yes you would need to either bend your I-beams or buy a set of I-beams bent for a 4" lift.

What about a body lift I am planing on putting a body lift on my truck but I also have a lift kit on it also. Just more

Body lift... if that's what floats your boat. I wouldn't. Maybe a 1 or 2 inch max for me but then its not even really worth the trouble. You'll have to keep a lot of little things in mind like steering, front/rear bumper, engine will be lower in the engine compartment, clutch/gas/brake linkages, etc.

i have anathor option,and that is to change over to a straigt axel set up and go from there

Not worth converting a 2wd to 4wd... Time for a frame swap. Tons of fabrication needed because the frames are nothing alike. But if you have the skillz and money anythign can be done.

Unless you are racing, I don't understand lifting a 2WD truck at all.
