I have recently purchased a 2000 f150 XL 2wd and one of my friends said that they put the leaf spring under the axle and u could put it back to factory lift which would be a 6 inch lift from where it is now. And he said they cut the front springs. The fronts sits about 2 inches higher than the back. Is there any way I could just raise the back up 2 inches. And will it make the front tires wear on the inside or once I got to get it allign will it fix that?

You would have to take the flip kit off the back then lower it 4" with drop shackles and hangers.

ok in rear you will need to flip the axle back on top of the rear end unless you want to do a 1 inch lifting shackle
