Need help: 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 will be dropping sooooooooo much money into a 21 year old truck with a 12" suspension and the gears and tires to go with it. Like $6000+
The lift, tires, and gears will probably cost double or more what the truck is worth man just saying

Ha I spent about $20k on suspension for my $10k truck 
So there are people out there who dont mind spending more then there trucks are worth.

Well those were some of the most useless responses I've ever seen. Honestly, like the guy said above, you'd be better off with a solid axle swap. It'll last longer, be easier to maintain, and be much tougher. And cheaper at this point. And a 93 should be relatively simple to do.

If you were to go solid axle swap you open your possiblilties up so much more. Also why is everyone bashing his ideas they are his and what he wants. Not yours just respect it and lend info if possible dont make him justify why he is doing it he owns it!!!!! build it i love seeing old trucks reqworked.
