search for "Tortion Twist"
 






Nope, the Tortion Twist will not work. He's got a 93. Depending on how high you want to go there are many ways, but more than 2 inches and you will need drop down brackets for the front axle. Some just use 2" lift springs others use F150 Coil Seats. But like I said if you want a good amount of lift then new brackets are necessary otherwise allignment will be impossible.
 






There is not a cheap way to match a SOA in the rear. That gives you 5-6" lift, the "cheap" front lifts can only get you 2". You'll have to get a kit with 6" coils and all drop brackets or build something yourself.
 






None

Actually I have Some 4inch coil springs & drop brackets I sell to you for $100 Brand New there trailmaster I've had them for four years, I went with a bigger lift is why they weren't installed but if your interested hit me up...
 






that's a smoking deal. but you'll have to buy shocks too. look at bilsteins they are cheap in the factory lifted sizes.
 






here's the bilstein part number for the 4 inch lifted shocks=BE5-6215-H5
and from the bilstein web site:Compression bump stop on chassis may need to be modified to prevent damage to the shock absorber
 












the bilsteins are about 80 bucks each, so you could concievably lift that thing for around 300-350 bucks.
 












One mans junk is truely another mans treasure.....
