So in my experience if I walk in to XYZ Parts Store and tell them "I want springs for a F150 7700 and shocks to match," they will look at me like I have 5 heads and order me springs for a dump truck.
Where is a good place to buy these parts online?

Do you not have the internet?
Hey man I just joined this forum to answer your question. I put these springs on the rear and got a good 2.5- 3" of lift in the rear. I re-used all of my current hardware, except the stock spacer, and got the rear lifted nicely.
SKU 43-1231 $240.00 shipped UPS Ground to Florida for the pair...

I just ordered these for the front, the reviews say you will get 2-2.5" on the front, depending on how much sag you have right now.

It's not wortH lifting a 2x4 truck.
You go and lift it and put 33s on 2x4 truck you'll have ****ty traction. You want skinny thin tires. 33s are like wearing snow shoes. 33s will fit on a stock truck no lift needed. My 4x4 has 33s.

Ok well 1- hmmm 33"a stock? Post size I have a 3" spindle lift and run those. Not too much room. 2- for rear the 7700 or f250ld is the way to go. 3- front options are coil spring or coil spacer. For longevity of suspension you should go for 3" spindle. Factory angles, everything happy. And you get pretty high up on 33"s. 4- if you expect going through I snow you may want to do 7.5" Then your talkin 35"s. I personally think that's silly though. 5- to help with snow might want to get a locker? Or if you have open diff than DEFINITELY a ls from a yard.

Well those pictures will do! Just wanted to see what it would look like. Yours is a 2wd correct? Stock wheels? Ive seen some trucks with the same lift and a wider front end stance. Thats what i didnt want.
