Im looking to put 38" superswampers on my truck. Trying to find out how much of a lift in need. The specs on the truck are 97 F250 extended cab longbed. 460,auto, independant front rear and leafsprings on all four corners. The rear shaft is a two piece with a carrier bearing bout half way. My truck is mostly street and highway drivin and im more goin for looks and drivablity at this point. Can anyone recamend a company for the suspension lift kit and would a 6" lift work for the 38's?

Thanks for the help!

If you're looking for looks and drivability then leave it alone...
 
Get rid of the TTB front susp. and find a dana 60 out of a mid 90's F350 with the drag link and tie rod it almost bolts right up. Then get 6" springs and ride. TTB steering does not do well with offset wheels and big tires on the street or trail.
