Best way to do a leveling kit.
Hey I have a 96' F150. Springs alone costed me $215.00, and since I did that I put 4 new shocks all the way around it $50.00 each. I bought 2" taller coils for my truck and it leveled it right up. I have 33x12.50x15 herculies trail digger M/T's all the way around and they do not bun at all. and never once bottomed it out. I thin you could get away with 35" tires if you had off set rims on a 4x4. Mine looks mean with 33's and the gearing is'nt to bad ethier.

also did you have to buy lifted shocks, or just stockers? Where did you get your parts?
sorry for all the questions... thanks for the help.

In bolt bottom of spring , compress spring .. slide space in and rehook it all up. Then get an alignment.. spaces 100k bucks. And I have lifetime alignment from tires plus so mine was free.
I bought all my parts from NAPA. All my shocks were the 2nd best ones, i didnt want gas shocks. But you can make a 2 inch lift your self buddy. I made mine out of 2" flat steel for my 1966 f100 ( same "twin I Beam" suspension ) take a torch and cut two 3.5" circles out the steel. then cut two 3/4 inch holes in center of them. there yah go a 2" LIFT. take your springs out and put on "bottom" of spring and your done! easy and free if you got a barn full of steel
