hey guys im new to this forum and my dad just gave me a 1991 ford f150 with the inline 6 and a standard transmition. also its a crew cab regular box.


i was wondering what is the easiest and cheapest way to lift it a little bit and be able to get 32-33" tires.


i was thinking add-a-leafs for the rear and coil spacers for the front.

any direction you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated :]

thanks in advance ya'll

33's don't fit on stock height?? They did on my 85 before I lifted it,but the setup you wont should be fine.,.,but may still have a rubbing problem on the controll arms,,

yeah thats what i thought to but this damn truck has no clearence..

im gonna try coil spacers first and see if it levels out a bit then get the cheap aluminum blocks for the back.

should look a little bit more like a truck ;]

young85boy

sounds good!!,, i hope it works out for you!

Take a look at fatbobsgarage.com for leveling coils, they are the front coil springs, but they are 2" taller and will level your truck. I bought a set, have not installed them yet, and they were not much more than the spacer kits.

yeah man!

thats where i was looking,im tempted to get the 6" suspen. lift with a 3 inch body lift and some huge *** tires but then agian its a 2wd!

ill most likely get either the spacers or the new spring for the front. then for the rear i was thinking add a leafs, ill most likely do the blocks though because theyre cheaper and im not gonna need the extra payload because all i haul is a 200pound dirtbike and some sand in the winter for traction.

tell me what ya think about the setup, then ill finish it all up with 32's or 31's.

i have a 1994 f150 2wd regular cab, i went ahead and used coils instead of the spacers due to the year of the truck which is what you may want to do. it turned out great and i have 33/12.5/15 bf goodwrich all terrains on my truck. the only issue i encountered was the bumper which will need to only be cut slightly. it wont rub anywhere no matter how far you turn the wheel, i got away with not getting shocks but you may want to buy wheel cams because your tires with be bowed in partially.


hope this helped

yeah man thanks i think ill go ahead and get the coils sometime this summer and see what the *** end looks like but i think itll havt to come up to!

The blocks will work fine, but if you get the add-a-leaf kit it will raise the rear of your truck at least 2" and if you ever need to, you will have the extra weight capacity. I am running 31x10.5x15's on my 1996 F150 and they look fine, imho.

alrighty then man.

do you know if its harder to do the whole coil rather than just doing a spacer?

theoretically it should be the same, no?
