Hey y'all, been using the forum forever and finally decided to make an account.
I want to increase the front suspension travel of my 2000 f150 but it's also a daily driver so I don't need anything too crazy just something with that would give me the prerunner lean and better performance off road. I'm pretty sure they don't make front coil overs for 97-03's so could I just add longer fox shocks and longer springs to accomplish this?

Longer shocks and springs arent going to increase your travel. A CST LT kit is probably the cheapest way to do it.

If you just want a lift, some lift spindles, coils, upper arms and fox 2.0 resivior shocks would do slightly better then stock off road.

What tires do you run?

Thanks bubba @M&D I hadn't heard of CST and after doin some digging that sounds like the setup for me added travel but not too hardcore, and [MENTION=121083]Surrey Boy[/MENTION] I'm just runnin geolander ats 265's now but with the CST long travel Id put on 33's or 35's

I just did a 3'' lift and while it looks great , the front end bounces over bumps while going slow. I imagine it is the angle of the A arms. the stiff cheap shocks that came with the kit. its a 01 150. 4x4. on the lift spindles will it work with the front shafts? it looks like they would be short and or bind the CV joints. Is there a fix to this?

to the o.p., is your truck 2 or 4wd? this can save a ton of confusion cause the 4wd trucks use torsion and the 2wd use coils.. of its a 2wd then DONT add a lift spring because it will eliminate almost all downtravel in your front end.. a spindle will give you height but no real travel increase. in order to truly get better performance not just a tighter front end (what a pair of good shocks and heim upper a arms will give you) you have to look into a kit like the cst.. if your 4wd then i cant help ya haha
