2 WD lift - Diesel Forum

Thanks for all the good info. I was wondering if they made a 4 to 6 inch lift kit for the 1986 f250. I havent been able to find much and when I finish restoring the truck would like to make it dessert pre runner style. Thanks

Prerunner diesel????? Are you going for look or function? You may have a problem with front end weight and that you have leaf springs. MOST all prerunner setups are coil or coil over setups.

I just have all the body work done and would like to lift it up with the pre runner style bumpers front and rear for something different.

The 86 2-wheel drive has coil springs in the front, the 4-wheel drives have the leaf-springs in the front.

Oh my bad, I thought that all 3/4 and 1-tons had leaf springs 2 and 4 wheel drive from this era.
