I am doing a quasi-restoration on my 1996 F-250 this summer. It's gong
to need a complete front end (ball joints, tie rods, etc) since they
are all still original after 220k miles. My question is that while I
have the truck apart, I was thinking of adding a 2" lift to it. Has
anyone on this group had any experience with lifts? I want to keep the
lift to only 2". It it a fairly easy task? Are there different ways of
going about it? The kits I've been checking out seem to have a *huge*
price difference and I was trying to figure out why? Also, is the
steering greatly affected by this? Someone mentioned to me that when a
vehicle is lifted, the steering becomes sloppy. Would this still be the
case with only 2" ?  Thanks for any input and advise you might provide!
