Evening all,

This is my first post here and i just started getting into trucks, probably due to the fact that i now work in an automotive store. I have a 1992 f150 Xlt Lariat i6 4.9L and the front end is noticeably lower than the back. I had it raised in order to replace the muffler... and i realized something. even with an extra four inch lift on the front it looked damn good.

To be honest i have the money but i am trying to decide if a lift kit is even work it on my beast. or if i should just try and get a leveling kit to give it that even look.

Any advice would be appreciated. Hopefully i hear from one of you all soon.

what kind of lift were you thinking? suspension or body?

I was thinking suspension, something i can easily do with my coworkers in a weekend.

so what size tires do you plan on running? 4inch suspension lift would look pretty good with 33s

I have a set of 33's but someone told me i would need to change a lot if i put a leveling kit on. Druveline.. Hoses and such

i dont think so. i leveled my 4x4 with F-250 coil springs all it needed was an alignment afterward and i'm running 33s now but i plan on putting a 3 inch body lift on it too

My dad was a mechanic for 35+ years and he said what i coukd actually do is out e250 ambulance shocks in the front and it would give me about three inches if lift... That seems iffy ti be though.

93F-150

actually that sounds about right. maybe not quite 3 inches but it'd level it nice for you

Is it safe though? Seeing as how i can get the heavy duty springs and proper hardwear for less than 100 out the door.

93F-150

yes it is safe. about same as me swapping mine for the F-250 ones
