Default Help Wanted: 12" suspension Lift Kits?

Hello all!
I am a very new user to this forum, as a matter of fact I only joined yesterday. I need help with finding a lift. I Have a 1992 F-150 Custom with a 5.0 in it and four-wheel drive that does VERY well in the mud. I'm almost certain that my four wheel drive has the 208 chain driven transfer case and I'm embarrassed to say I'm not entirely sure what auto-transmission is in it. But anyway, I'd very much like to put a 12" Suspension lift on it with some knobby tires. I'm wondering if anybody can tell me who makes a good 12" suspension lift kit and also what else i have to do to the truck, modifications-wise, besides the brake lines (I.e. Do I need to change my gear ratios?) Thank you, all, and God bless.

You do not have to change the gear ratios but, bigger tires are harder for the engine to turn so changing the gear ratios would make it easer for the engine to turn the tires. But if u change the gears in the back u need to change them in the front too since its 4wd

Nobody makes a 12" for the TTB fords. Your truck should have E4OD for a transmission. The biggest TTB lift you can find is going to be a 8" skyjacker. To be honest Even 35's on a TTB are enough to blow up the outers.
