Default tuff country 2 in. supsension lift??

I was looking at puttin a 2-3 in. suspension ontop of my 3 inch body, and ive been hearing that the 2 inch tuff country is basically a leveling kit?? is this correct, and if it is.... does anyone know a website that sells 2-3 inch supension lift kits for a 1997 4WD?


much appreciated.

Austin

spring rebuilders worcester mass
  • (508) 799-9342 thats the phone number to the place i used for my ubolts... they were local for me.... as far as both lifts on the truck i knoe afew people who have done that before... it is very do able. the torsion bar is suspension the new keys have slightly differ off set which when adjusted they crank up the front... its a really a leveling kit but makes ur truck sit higher... but i like the way it rides with new shocks and keys put in it...
idk if you`d be up to it but to do the suspension aint bad. i did in my my garage with no llift and just few buddies. now if you mechanically incline id say do it BUT the only part that willlll give you problems is the torsion keys lol

Got mine off e-bay for $180. Took me about 2 hours to install the whole thing. Keys in the front blocks in the rear. Its by adrenalin motorsports. Just type in F150 lift in the search.
