86 1/2 ton lift? were to start.

My friend Wade and I just got done replacing the clutch on his truck and now that it is running again her wants to put a lift on it between 2-4 inches . After alittle research lift blocks look like the way to go for his rearend since the budget is slim. Were should we start on the frontend? Any resources we should read? How is a front end lift acheived? I know not lift blocks this is a no no from what ive been told.

And I hear you can have your leafs re-arched to get some lift as well, never tried it or seen it done but. Also he may be able to do a shackle flip... check diy4x.com

Go with procomp 4" leaf springs in the front and a shackle flip by DIY4X and that should get you rolling.
