Default Lift/Leveling Question

I have a 1992 Ford F150 XLT 4x4. I want to raise the front to level off with the rear of the truck. Do they make leveling kits for my truck? I've attached a picture of the truck for your view and advice. Thanks

they do make leveling kits. you can go with coil spacers, lift springs, or even use f250/350 springs to level it out. and nice truck

Between the guard, colors, and wheels I think this is my favorite picture of a 7/8/9th generation F-150 on this forum. And there's been a lot of cool or pretty ones. This one's both! Wow, thats an awesome truck, rust and all.

If it were mine, I wouldn't level it off. It's just ready for some weight, thats all.

Others will chime in on where to get your leveling kits, I just wanted to throw my "wow" out to this one...

and when you raise the front you will have to get a shop to align it. if you were not planning on doing the work yourself, i would get a shop that can do it all so you can drive out without further work.

Thats cool, thanks. Yeah they are the same I have, but mine won't really clean that well (pretty much what chelios said), especially around the center hub. That and I said wheels loosely, when I should have said tires/wheels. The meaty sidewalls are nifty. I was checking out his garage and hes gonna make some changes over time such as deep black paint job and smoked headlights and such.

Zdrifter-87: You had a good eye to pick that truck up. Did it come with the front brush guard (my hint as to ask where did you find this guard)?

Lol @ your moms opinion. Boo! Not true!

Yeah, it took me a while to clean the rims. About an hour overall. Lol and when I bought the truck, the guard came with the truck. I want to actually buy a bigger one that replaces the whole bumper.
