Default Bds 4 lift kit A good choice?

So I wanna lift my 92 f150 4x4 300 i6 m5od transmission dana 44 diff 3.55 gearing.
Wanna go with a bds 4 inch or similar liftkit with radius arms wanna run 33.10.50 15 bfg ats so I can keep stock rims and regear to 4.56 to maintain proper power this is not a daily driver mainly a sport truck so what do you think any thoughts or comments appreciated ....

I know BDS makes great lifts but I went with Rough Country 4" lift on my 92. I bought the kit with new leaf springs also because I didn't want blocks. Just need to install new gears for what I want and put the tires and wheels on. Mine is a 92 also but with the 302 and quad front shocks. He can see the dual shock in the pic.

Been looking at the same as csddmoyer. The rough country. As I'm reading this thread, a local installer just emailed me back and said he prefers the superlift 4" for my year. And gave me a GREAT PRICE including tires and rims.

Just looking for a quote for a regear!!!

Email today said (1995 f150 RWD utility bed if that matters). This is SoCal prices so YMMV.

I asked for 4" lift, black steelies rims, 33x12.5 wheels.
Quoted "out the door" 2K for superlift, procomp steel rims, 33" AT tires.

I asked if this was, of course, including alignment. I will probably ask for the front sway bar drop accessory, and new radius arm bushings so a little more than 2K. Hopefully, I can get a "cash" discount. I pay with cashola. Helps with dental bills btw, go to dentist and say "i'm paying cash" and I get a 15% discount.

Oh, also, I asked if they knew a axle guy to regear of if they do that.

Default Rough Country 4" Lift any Camber Issues?

For those of you that have installled the 4" Rough Country Lift on your 1992-1996 F150 4x4s, have you had any positive camber issues? I'm installing the 4" kit on my 1996 this week and was just wondering. I plan on running 33/11r15 BFGs on my stock rims (15x7.5). Thanks
