I am looking for some information on putting a lift on my 2wd 2008 F250 to make it sit like a 4wd. I have seen a 2.5-3" front and a 2" rear lift for it. Anyone use one of these on theirs? I am using my truck for work with my small engine/performance/powdercoating/painting business and want the truck to sit better and have a little more capability off road. She's a tank, 4 door 8ft box so serious off roading will be not happening in this but trips to the cottage with materials, pickup and drop off of equipment, and trips to pick up 5th wheels and my 34ft trailer loaded with machinery will be the brunt of use on this truck. I want it to look really good for advertising for my business. Comfort is also a requirement. I have been looking at the 2.5" front 2" rear, and then adding some good airbags to the rear for extra weight control. im going to run a set of aftermarket 17" rims with 285/70/17 BFG AT's on it. Some extra goodies like lighting etc but that wont make much difference to the weight of the truck.
anyone ever lift a newer model F250 2wd?

be careful with 17" rims.. Some don't clear the brake calipers.
As for lifts there's a ton of ways to do it and the vary between 150 bucks to 5K.
A nice setup would be 2.5" icon coils, F350 stock rear blocks and a nice set of shocks all the way around.. shouldn't break the bank to much.

I don't know what's different between the 2wd and 4wd up front to be honest. 99% sure they are still coils so really just finding the right coils and running wit it. A bigger coil is going to run alot better than a spacer setup... I think this kit

Being your a 2wd, it probably doesn't need the F350 block.
Call around and ask, Marty at Truck Toyz http://trucktoyzperformance.com/wp/

Either of these guys will be able to tell you what it takes to lift a 2wd and can set you up with a great kit.
Again it's all about the $$ and what kind of performance you require from your suspension.

Swap the front coils to 2.5 icon coils and be done with it! Smoother/better ride, progressive coil rate, more wheel travel.. I think it would be a good option for you.

Here are a few nice examples of expedition prepared Land Cruisers:
FJ60: Balum
FZJ80:
UZJ100: Doron's 1999
The fabtech 6" kit will get you to the height of about a 4wd truck with a 4" kit.
