Lifting my F-150

I am putting 44" tires under my '76 F-150 and I am not too sure what kind of lift I am going to need. I have been looking around for different lift kits and what they have to offer and I found a few Skyjacker kits that offer a 9" suspension lift but I am not sure that will be enough so I was thinking that I should maby go with a 2"-3" body lift. If anyone has any different suggestions or a different way that may work better I am all ears, thanks. (I am not bound and determined on skyjacker name brand its just that they hade the biggest lift that I could find for my truck, I am sure there may be bigger and better out there).

What? No replies ... at all? Seems stange for this place.

I'm not much into serious "lifting", but I would think one of the things that you need to ask yourself is whether this is for serious Off-roading, a Street thing or somewhere in the middle?

I've seen guys put on lift kits for a whole lot of reasons ... so the heigth, type and "best" can vary all over the place.

By the way - Got Tires with that?

I am deffanatly going to use it for mud bogging only, and I am giong to go with 44" super swamper boggers. I guess my main concern is the clearance I want to make sure that I don't mess up the tires or the fenderwell too much when I hit a big rut or a pothole.
