[QUOTE="downforce137, post: 1841666, member: 19591"] the bad news is a lot of times, the front diff mounting bracket gets cut off the frame for a lot of these lift kits, if you wanted to reverse it.. im not 100% on that particular lift, but its a possibility. you'll want to check into it.. a 4 inch lift is the easiest way to put 37s on, and probably the cheapest as well, as no cutting or trimming would be required.. it changes the suspension geometry especially with the upper control arm, since the lower arm mounting points are moved down, but the uppers stay in the same location.. thats mostly why we are not a fan of lifts.. as far as the leaf springs, stock the truck came with a 2" block in between the springs, and axle to get the raptor sized lift. +2 deaver springs for instance, would make the truck sit at stock height, because the 2" block will get removed. +3 would add and inch and so on.. i run +3HD deavers with eibach springs and it sits very level and around 2" overall higher than stock.[ATTACH type="full"]377977[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
