Default level kit

I have a1996 F-150 2WD that I want to level. Any suggestions on a kit? Any unexpected things to consider? Most of the kits use polyurethane spring spacers. Cage off road makes aluminum ones but not for the 96 MY as far as I can see, they are really nice. Hell Bent Steel has some nice ones as well but again, not for the 96. I already have the cam style camber adjusters installed so that step is done.

Most common is f250 springs. You have a 10th gen right? If so there is the 96-03 section that will be more helpful. But you might be able to use the f250 springs off the same gen as yours. But best bet is the 96-03 section.

Yes but also he obviously has TIB up front which for 10th they switched to a arms. Also his avatar truck obviously isn't the one he wants to level... at least by the looks of it. If you have a 9th gen with TIB suspension, all kits for 87-95/96 will work.
