I want to get my truck level and raised a lil its a 2wd - Ford F150 Forum

Stoneyfs · 11-07-2009, 03:10 AM

Im trying to find the best yet cheapest way to get my 2000 f150 2wd level and raise it some jus to get it a lil higher off the ground. ive looked everywhere and haven't had any luck. Also tried adjustable coil spacers for the front but they don't work. considering 2 inch lowering shackles for rear and 2 or 3 inch body lift Im in collage and work at a grocery store lol so money is always in short supply i need to find a way to do this without spending thousands on its if possible. Any help on this? Ive heard a lot of good and bad stuff about body lifts so im unsure bout them

id go with new spindles in the front they make some that will give you 3.5 inches of lift on the fron and then id go with add a leaf in the back or either blocks all this could be done for about the same price of the body lift

thanks i think ill do that it sounds a lot better than the body lift.

When getting the 3.5 spindles do i need to buy new coil springs, front and rear shocks, and alighnment cam like it says or will the factory parts work good if they're in good shape? Sorry im new to this

i dont think that you would need new coil springs new shocks prolly wouldnt hurt anything and yeah you will have to have the alignment checked shouldnt be but about 50 for them to check that or if you look on ebay you might find a whole kit for your truck with everything in it

i found a 5.5 inch kit on ebay with everything in it its more expensive but i think it will look better i jus need to get some good rims and bigger tires plus a winch for when i go hunting fishing or the occasional mudding trip

any suggestions on some good looking yet less expensive rims black and polished aluminum or something like that if possible? im willing to spend a lil more for better tires tho thanks for the help

do you want like steel black bullet hole rims?

Stoneyfs · 11-09-2009, 03:12 PM

not really sure what those look like it doesn't really matter too much as long as they look a lil better than my stock ones. i have the really cheap ones not the xl editions or anything

lol i have another stupid question what exactly does the spindle lift and blocks do. like the body lift raises the body from the frame and the suspention lift raises the frame from the axels. so what about the spindle lift
