1976 f100

So I have a 1976 f100, and i am wanting to just lift the front maybe 2''in to make it level. 33's fit in it perfect but the tire hits the fender on the front passenger side. What Is my best option to lift the front? I have looked at different kits and even thought about tightening the torsion bar. But I dont want to spend too much or damage my truck.

I don't have a lift kit on it, and dont want to raise the truck to high cause I pull goose neck trailers.

You might be able to go with a variable rate coil spring and get about an 1 1/2" lift and a better riding truck ..

Ok. Would putting a new coil spring be better then the spacer?

The springs posted above are progressive rate and new. They will ride much better than the current coils. So yes, coils will give a better ride.

A spacer shouldn't improve or degrade the ride quality much.
