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.

Thanks for your help.

 

they do make leveling springs. i'd say do it that way if you wanna do it the right way. and even if you do the spacers, i'd go with polyurethane.

 

Rough Country makes a coil spring that adds 1 1/2 inches of lift to the front. There are may different kits available. Try eBay, that is where I got my coils. I have not installed them yet, tho.

 

 

I was considering drilling out the rivets for the spring pockets and bolting them on lower, effectively raising the truck. This would be low buck, but I never did try it. You would also have to consider the radius arm mounts and I-beam pivot points.

 

no, you just put the new springs on and get an allignment and vwalla. you have a lifted truck.

 

 

heck yeah, sounds like fun. good luck with your surgery.

 

I didn't necessarily mean for anyone to try this, just something I'm considering. Mostly just wanted feedback, fully expecting to hear "No way man" or "Why would you do that?", but hoping someone would think it's an ok idea. Too many projects and not enough ca$h have me looking for low cost alternatives.
