Nice! What made you go with the procomp kit over the moog f250 springs. An how much did it raise the front? Did you measure before an after heights? I ask cause I'm looking to do the same thing to fit 33's an wonder if the moog springs will be enough.

I went with the pro comp because I have a friend that did the same. After an alignment it drove better that new. These springs are just as heavy as f250 springs. Much thicker than stock. I didn't measure from the ground but I took before and after pics. The last picture is with the drivers side done and passenger not.

Wow that is a big difference. Is it just the pictures or does the front sit higher then the rear now?

Did you put in camber bushings? How is the camber on the tires after the springs?

Looks like it sits higher than the rear. No new bushings. Taking it to the shop to get alignment

Are your ball joints/bearings/tie rods alright? The serious cupping on that front tire in the pic makes me think your front end needs some attention!

Those springs will settle a little. If you can get it close and get a couple of miles on them before the alignment (also before you try to level up the back) that would be ideal.

It's all tight under there. Rides and handles smooth. I heard that it's pretty normal.
