those would work if i had a GAS motor..
all the companies said that since i have the diesel i will compress those springs OVERNIGHT from the added weight...

heres a couple pics of my beast as she sits..
shes got a 3 inch body lift and i tucked a set of 40's under her.. i also hand made the push bar and the exhaust... im pretty pround since those were my first real fabricating attempts.. since im only 21. i think they turn out great. the push bar isnt done yet but i love it already
i should also add i painted the truck myself first time for that too.. i love her.. i tried to make it black black black.. i love the death look i achieved now shes a big attention *****... hahaa

Get yourself a 6" skyjacker 2wd kit with radius arms and call it a day. When I had my 87 F 250 (2wd diesel with 8" coils)I ran this set-up but would rub 36" tire at full jump.....best of luck to you, seems like a speed bump would make you rub with 40's

The diesel engine will compress the springs an extra 2" max. Then you put 2" spacers under those and you have you're 6" lift. Check out my garage, I have 2 250's, 1- gas, 1-diesel, both 2wd. The green one is gas and the black one is diesel. Only difference is the black one has the 2" spacers.
