Default cheapest front lift

i want to add some squat to my f150 seeing as the rear is sitting higher then the front. i have a 4 inch ruffcountry lift and a 3 inch body lift, i want to keep the back the same (add a leaf and 2 inch blocks) and just purchase a bigger lift for the front. still has the D44 TTB front end. whats the cheapest company that will let me buy just the front? leveling kit wont work as id need offset ball joints. i think a 6 or 6.5 lift would suffice.

Took from mudd diggers thread, "8' lift coil" A 4" lift coilfrom a 2005-2010 f250/f350 superduty will givea 80-96f150a 10" lift coil option. And because the TTB axle puts more torsional load on a coil spring then a regular solid axlethespring rates on the superduty coilsand thespring rates on the lift coils for these trucks are almost identical.

I thought on 4 inches of lift or bigger you have to get the drop brackets? As stated in op he has 4" lift already.

You might get lucky of you already have a 4 inch and be able to use your drop brackets. I'd get a set of stock superduty coils and a set of shocks for a 6 inch lift and see it your brackets will work.
