94 F150 lift

Want to be able to fit 35" tires without any problems so what should I do to my truck to make this work.

[Travisfab]

Fiberglass fenders!!

[Steve_HKmtrsprts]

How much money are you willing to shell out and what is your goal, other than running 35"s?

[FIF]

2 or 4 wheel drive?

I clear 35s pretty damn good with steel fenders and bent beams(from camburg). I moved the radius arm mount about a half inch forward from where it is suposed to be, so the tires clear the backside of the fender better but you'll need to cut/remove your front bumper. Turning radius isn't too good though, if you have the cash go for fiberglass and extended beams. btw, my truck is 2wd.

[The_Hulk]

The truck is 2wd, and a daily driver so I don't need to get too serious with travel. Willing to spend about $1000, I would like to go with extended beams along with glass fenders but not sure about re-mounting everything thats mounted to the inner fenderwell.

[tedmales]

sounds like its pro comp city.

[In_the_works]

Yeah, I guess you could get some nice extended beams for about a grand, and they would make a fine wall decoration or conversation piece, but without the additional $1500 (at least) for shocks, coil buckets/coilovers and radius arms, there's no way you're gonna get them on your truck. The best you're gonna do for $1000 is a Pro comp or Superlift 6" kit. Nothing wrong with that if it's a street vehicle, and you won't have to shell out the extra $400 for glass!

[motoxscott]

If cost is an issue, try and track down a Dick Cepek Stage 2 lift for it, if you can still find it. I think someone here on RDC still has some of that stuff left over. For a production based kit, I never saw anything better than that. Everything was built really well and beefy.

Mounting fiberglass on '92-'96 F-150's is a lot of work and if you can't do it yourself expect to spend a lot of money for someone to do it.

[Kritter]

bent beams, 4 inch coil, mod radius arms $550
Set of 4 bilsteins $220
used leafs..$350+/- $100
Labor free
You got yourself a truck that will be more reliable, drive better and be less maiintance then the majority of long travel kits. Give me a shout and I may even help you put it together for some beer.

If you are going to abuse it...add brake lines to the list.

You cant beat the autofab kit.

Dont run any procomp or Rancho BS.

Stock mod radius arms are crap. You will have nothing but bushing problems. We made these for years and from doing this we stoped because of the bad geometry. We only sell the custom extended radius arms. THE ONLY WAY TO GO. Spend $300 extra and do it right.
Kritter it is kind of like the reason why you want upper arms on your truck. You want quality not price.
Our suspension with custom radius arms starts at $950 check them out.



Here are our off road kits (http://www.camburg.com/fordsibeamf150p.html) http://www.camburg.com/images/f150/entryLevelSystem.jpg

I sell a bunch of the Dick Cepek kits and the Series II kit (the one with extended radius arms) is out of stock. I actually sold the last two kits today and from what I've seen they only really fit the 4wd trucks. Dick Cepek is now owned by a group out of Texas and just as they started to get the brand going again they are running out of stock with major delays in fulfilling new orders. Rancho actually had a pretty decent radius arm and "Rancho Dave Simpson" has a set on his 4wd Bronco and that thing has seen more prerun and Mexico miles than most prerunners I know. For a 2wd F-one-fiddy it's tough to beat the Camburg kit. Work a little harder or sell some crap you don't use and save up enough money to buy the right stuff the first time. A $1000.00 bucks ain't much but it's enough to get started.

If you want a cheap front dual shock option you can have my "quad shock" coil towers off my Bronco. They can be bolted on in place of your single shock version and the price is free + you gotta figure out a way to get them though. Right now they are sitting in a scrap metal bin waiting to be recycled by the local metal rats.
