Hi everyone, im new to the forum and new to F150s but a big fan from the start. This is my first one its a 2003 supercrew 2wd with 104k miles. Can anyone tell me what has been done to this truck as far as the lift, It sits up fairly high but it doesnt look as if the rear is really lifted, im just not sure at all. I assume it has some sort of leveling kit on the front end. I am in the market to look for some new shocks and wanted to know if standard shocks are the way to go or if the lift/leveling kit has any factor on the shocks needed. The rear shocks look like they are factory oem but the front seem to be replaced, they are blue with springs around them, but still look fairly used, and it rides a bit rough. I think im just gonna put all 4 new ones on and wanted some suggestions and need a little help on which ones to buy.

Thanks guys look forward to hearing your advice.

I can't tell you about the lift but am interested in your tire size. I too, just bought the same behicle in 2WD. Howver, it came with 20 inch tires and am thinking I might want to go back to stock wheels and tires.

thanks for responding. Sorry I can help with the lift question. It is beyond my knowledge.

to me it looks like it has a body lift kit on it sense those are over sized tires

and i don't think i has a leaving kit on it cause shes still doing a bit of a nose dive

it's a body lift

yeah it looks like a 2 or a 3 inch body lift, if shes riding rough the previous owner might have put some aftermarket torsion keys in it which cause the truck to as ive heard said before "bounce like a rubber ball" this also might be the reason why it seems to sit higher, and why you can fit such large tires compared to stock.
just my two cents, hope it helped!

2wd's have torsion bars?

dawgfan54

idk i assumed they did? i may be completely wrong? i just figured all trucks have suspension so they gotta have them?

General Lee

pretty sure 2wd do not have torsion bars

dawgfan54

lol i stand corrected then and commend you my good sir for your superior knowledge of the overall concept!

General Lee

hah anything I can do to help out
