Default Leveling Front End

I have a 1995 F150. Trying to raise the front end to level. Giving that Ford had duel shocks and a coil spring on both sides, will shocks need to be replaced if I am raising the front end about 2 inches?

Nope, stock ones will give enough travel for 2". 4" and above you would need taller ones.

You will need an alignment however to adjust the camber.

Did you get taller springs or just new OEM ones? Because you have 4x4 you will have to go taller to be perfectly level because of the blocks and the higher leaf count. Or you could just put more weight in the bed to level it out like that.

You did not buy them tall enough...you could swap your rear block out and bring the rear down a tad..

You could try putting in some F250 coils for the front (Moog . I don't know if they'll give you any MORE lift than the rough country, but I'm sure they'll definitely be beefier and stronger in the long run. That's the rout I plan on taking here in about 1 more week. New shocks might help you as well. I don't know how old yours are, but if they're OEM it'd definitely be a good idea to swap em out.

Lol awesome. I've heard a lot of good things about the f250 springs. Should be a pretty good setup for your rig. I plan on doing the f250 spring swap next week myself! Also gonna run some new skyjacker shocks with it as well. Be sure to post a pic after you get yours installed cause I'm interest in how much lift you'll be getting out of em.
