2002 F-250 leveling kit

I have a 2002 Ford F-250 2wd and am looking for a good leveling kit. There's a 4" difference between the front and the rear and want to get it as level as possible. I haven't been able to find a leveling kit over 2.5" and I'm wondering if any of you have found one or have tried different methods of getting your trucks leveled

I just put the zone 2.5" leveling mini pack on and it does a great job. I even took out the bottom smallest spring on each pack which made it more like 2". Ride is great and looks awesome. I think most of the 4" lift kits are a 4" front lift with a 1" block lift in the rear, so you could just toss the rear blocks if you truly want more lift in front.

I second the zone 2.5, made my truck ride so much better. Install was very smooth with the adjustable trac bar.

I was wondering how you handled the high torque requirements for the suspension components, especially the track bar? It appears that most people just use a cheater bar, crank on it and call it good. Thanks!

I also have a 2" mini spring pack and love it but the OP said he has a 2wd truck. The front suspension is completely different. As for a leveling kit over 2.5 inches there is a reason nobody makes one. More than 2-2.5 inches you start messing up the geometry of the front suspension too much to get by without a full lift kit. If you want your 2wd level your options are a 2.5 inch level and reduce/remove the rear block or a full lift kit to get the 4" in the front you want.

The first time I did a suspension on a Super Duty I rented a torque multiplier. Easy as pie. The last couple of times I have used a big cheater bar and that worked well too.

Your not going to find a level kit higher than 2.5 for your 2wd truck, there are 4" lift kits for the 2wd suoer duty and you might want to look into this and keep the rear stock instead of installing the lift components

Crossfit...I produced that 400lb torque requirement with one hand

Strong like bull.....smart like dump truck.....It seems like most people install their own lift kits so I figured most people just crank on it and call it good. Cheater bar it is! Thanks!

1/2” drive impact works pretty good too, especially after fiddling with the suspension multiple times lol
