87 lift question
#1
If you needed 6" of lift on an 87 how would you do it? Would a complete kit like rough country sells be the best? Or do you just need drop brackets, new coils and blocks? I'm asking for a friend that wants me to lift his 87. I don't know crap about ford suspensions. I was wondering if there is an alternative.

You would need the entire kit,coils,center pivot brackets,radius arm drop brackets and pittman arm etc.I have a rough country kit and for the money its not bad.
Stupid hurts when it catches up, and it WILL catch up!

So do you really need the new complete radius arms like what comes in the tuff country kits? Its about a $400 difference between ruff and tuff kits.

John, I'm running the 6" Rough country on my 90... but put a set of rear springs from superlift instead of the rear-blocks... Wish I had extended radius arms, but they're not "needed"...
