Default Lift Springs

Anybody use 1.5" lift springs in the front end to level your truck? Rough Country 1.5" coils. It says I should be able to bring the front end back in alignment specs. Just wondering what kind of problems the new angle will cause to ball joints, shock positions, etc?

I recently put in Moog CC824's that lifted my truck an inch and a half or so (never really measured). I also replaced my ball joints at the same time. I replaced the cam bushing with a Moog that would adjust as much as 3.5 degrees. With the standard bushing, it was not even close. I would go ahead and replace them when you do the springs.

Just put cc824 moogs on my 4x4 on Friday. Factory 2" blocks in the rear. Love the way it rides and looks. Definitely needs alignment with new bushings afterwards...my shop charged me $150 which included the bushings.

I have the cc824 springs also with the alignment bushings. Rides so much better with the f250 springs. Was to bouncy before!
