Leveling Kit

This weekend I helped my son remove a leveling kit he installed on his truck a few weeks ago, and I was wondering if it will fit my 97 F-350, 2WD DRW, 7.3L. Here is a link to the kit: 1981-1996 FORD F150 2" LEVELING LIFT KIT 4WD - eBay (item 270713890378 end time Mar-31-11 04:18:28 PDT)

I am pretty sure it will fit, I am not sure if it could handle the weight though. Any opinions?

Thanks

your truck should have leaf springs the pic was for coil springs.

I thought 2wd's had coils up front?? Even with that being said, the kit says it's for a 1/2 ton... might fit on yours but I doubt they would give you a refund if it didn't because F-250 isn't listed there.

if yours does have coils i am assuming at this point it does since you were pretty sure it would fit i would check the weight rating on the material those coil spacers are made out of.

My truck does have the coil springs, I think I'll try to find out what the weight rating is on the material like you mentioned. Thanks for help guys!!

I'd also make sure the diameter of the spacer and the spring are the same.
