Rough Country 2.5" 2WD- Before/After
OK--never could find a good pic of before/after of Rough Country 2.5" suspension lift on a shortbed F150--
soooo here they are--
Don't believe ANYONE that tells you lifting an I-beam 2wd is easy--slow process, but I think worth it..Just need a major alignment now--WAY too much positive camber....will need adjustable camber bushings for sure....
BTW--BEFORE picture was with 1.25" Gabriel spring shocks on front to level it.....
Anyways--enjoy....DOUG

thanks--belongs to my 17 yr old--his truck, his money, his work, and I help him--also notice the rear is about 1" to 1.25" low right now relative to front--prob due to rear leafs being 1987's still and a little saggy...?!?!
He wanted the 4x4 look w/out the 4x4--guess its an aftermarket "4x2"?

my back end sits about that high stock, thats kinda wierd. did you use the coil shocks that autozone has to level it? http://www.autozone.com/autozone/par...515_77458_7413_

Just call me sean. Really
On those shocks with coils over them, do you just replace your shock with that and leave your original spring alone? Those are a lot cheaper way to level the front.
