I have 7" total in lift. 35x12.50r15. 15x12 with 2" spacers.
Currently I have the 7.5" with 4.10, chromoly axle shafts. Open diff.
Maxtrac 4" Spindle, leafs have blocks.
I also have a 3" Body block/lift kit.
95 F250 rear shocks. Stock shocks in front.
Personally, either way, you're going to get bit by the bug. Customizing and lifting (ESPECIALLY LIFTING) vehicles. Is an addiction.
I like the first option. As you are daily driving/using it as a work truck.
Mine I use not only for daily, but I will go wheeling on the weekends and tear up the sand dunes here from time to time.
Or in the odd chances I decide to do donuts on pavement in the rain (hence the chromoly axles. As I bent the stock ones. Hella bad)
Keep it reliable. I have the 2.3L 5 Speed. Muffler delete with cats still, but dump piped out the side. I drive with my foot in the floor. I get 7 MPGs. Sometimes 8-9 if I am easy on it.
Keep it simple. As simple as you can. Buy a cheap barn find. Beat the crap out of that.
Cannot wait to see what it looks like! I haven't posted many updated pics of the lil' truck. So here is one I took this past weekend out wheeling with my buddy.
