I have a 97 F-250 that I want to lift/level about 2-3". I am going to run rear traction bars from PMF Metal Fab with one of their blocks at either 2.5" or 4.5". Before anyone says it, I do not want to do a D60 swap. What I am trying to figure out is if I can get away with using my stock front leaf springs (I just had them re-arched and all new shackles and hangers) and using a 2.5" drop bracket for the axle, also from PMF. If this wont work I am just going to run the 2.5" block and keep my truck where it is height wise. Should be noted my truck is dead level right now and that if I can use the bracket I will be switching to Bilstein 5100's from my Bilstein HD's. This also all started when I was doing my rear brakes and noticed both my rear leaf packs were broken and one pack was missing half of the center leaf!
