03 supercrew 4x4 lift kit

Hi all
It appears the 03 model year is missing from many lift kit listings, Can I use a 04 kit?
Seperate question how can I raise the front end level with the rear?
I know in my '97 I cranked on the torsion bars to raise the front. Is the 03 done the same?
Thanks

no the kits are different for 04 and 03. To raise the front level with the rear all you need is 2 inch lift torsion bars. You can get them for less than $100

Check ol' ebay. Just type in "f150 lift kit". You'll find what your looking for.

I have a 2002 Supercrew with a 4 inch Tuff Country lift installed. It has the stock torsion bars and uses a bracket to reposition them. I have turned the bolts on the rear of the torsion bars and got about and inch and a half of lift. One thing to note, make sure you turn both bolts the same.

They sell re-indexed bars to give you the correct amount of lift to make the front and rear level. I'm sure there are probably other ways like you said, but this way you know your getting it right. Just a suggestion.
