1995 F150 4 inch lift
Hey guys I just bought a 95 and was thinking about getting a 4 inch lift on it. This might be a dumb question but when you get it lifted does it lift the motor and everything or just the body? I was talking to a guy from work and he said that if I get it lifted the motor will be sitting 4 inches lower and would be a pain to work on. Never heard of this but I don't really know anything about this stuff. Thanks

A body lift will raise only the body of the truck off of the frame. This allows clearance in the fender wells for larger tires; however, the frame, engine, and transmission do not get lifted.
A suspension lift will adjust the geometry of the truck's suspension to raise the frame and everything connected to it. Personnaly, for the time and effort I would use a suspension lift. What size tires are you planning to use? |

Rough Country 4" lift is a good deal. Get the one with the rear springs, not just rear lift blocks if you can afford to - that's a good deal on new rear springs. Also look for the "shock upgrade " option. Just a little more for their best shocks while you're getting the kit.

Check craigslist for used kits, sometimes there are extremely good deals there. Otherwise just use the company website. Here is a picture of my 95 with a 4 inch BDS kit and 35's
