if you have the v6 you can replace the front springs with v8 springs and it will level your truck out. You could also buy spring spacers or lift springs. The highest you can go in the front without replacing the control arms with longer ones is 2.5 inches.

So you can go from there an look on ebay or just google 2.5" 97-03 f150 2wd leveling kit and you will find what you are looking for.

Nope. Suspension Max.

It was easy, just compressing it was hard so I stepped on the LCA while I kicked in the spring. Careful but worked, I only weight about 120 lbs.

springtech has a bunch of stuff on ebay and I am pretty sure I saw some springs in there for the v8...if not you can always get a 2.5 spring spacer
