Need suspension lift help
My truck is a 92 F150 extended cab 4x4 with a 4'' lift kit already installed. I want about two more inches of lift on the front to finish levelin it out and hopefully the nose will be up just a little. Well the previous owner thought it was a good idea to leave factory shocks on it so they arent even supporting the truck. I found two solutions to my problem, just wondering if they will work. #1 a leveling kit I found on ebay, its cheap and seems to be well made Black Aluminum Front Leveling Lift Kit 2" Ford F150 1980-1996 4wd 4x4 | eBay #2 6'' coil springs from rough country. I am ordering new 6'' rough country shocks so it wont be all bouncy anymore after the extra lift. Any help is greatly appreciated guys

The springs would definitely be the better option. You'll also need new hinges for the I-beams in your front suspension. And I've only done a leaf-spring lift, but for coils I think you'll have to do something with the arm that comes off the I-beam and goes to the frame under the cab. Not sure what the name is. These 2 things need to be dropped about the same as the axles to keep their geometry the same. Hopefully someone who knows more about coils will get on here and help. Good luck!

can you post a pic of the drop pivot bracket? I think I got an idea what it is but not 100% sure

I would just feel safer using the delrin/poly spacers. Won't corrode, etc.
Like these, just longer, to compensate for 4 inches of lift. One on each side of the TTB front axle.
