Super Duty Leveling Kit

Hello all, i have a 2000 F-250 5.4 4WD super duty and had found some springs to put on it, to replace the sagging old ones. The new used one's i bought are off a 2000 and are the plow prep/heavy service springs as apposed to my reg leafs, anyway i also have a 2" leveing kit i am to put on it with those springs and all together it should be around 3" of front lift. My question is besides new I bolts and u-bolts do i also need a drop pitman arm on the truck? Thank you all and i am sorry about writing a novel, god bless

No, you don't need a drop pitman arm. I did the exact same thing, installed V code springs of a diesel and the mini-spring pack. That gave me about 2.75" of lift in front. The only thing you might consider is an adjustable track bar to keep your axle centered. My axle is about 3/4" to one side. Not enough to concern me. Maybe when I have some extra $ I will get this one as it is the best price around and has great reviews from others here on FTE.

I also went to a 4" block in back and it sits perfect!
