97 2wd dually leveling kit

yeah. I just want a 2wd front leveling kit and I have yet to find one for sale anywhere from any manufacturer. Just want the front to sit like the back does. Someone on here has to have one or know of one....

Thanks

Rich

The front coil springs on a 2wd are the same as a 4x4 F150 from the same year. You can put in a F150 lift spring, or find a leveling kit, like a poly coil spacer for a F150 4x4 front spring.

I don't doubt you evan, I didn't know about the coil springs, but isnt the 97 150 the new body style so maybe them springs are different and he'd want to look for 96 parts?

I found a leveling kit at Daystar, P/N KF09101BK, I sent an email to Daystar Tech Support and they say it will fit a 97 F350, 2wd dually.

I hope this helps

Yes, you're right. I wasn't thinking about the '97 body change.

'92-96 F150 4x4 front springs are the same diameter as the F250/350 2wd springs

That link said that it would fit 99+ F250/350 and older bronco 2... Didn't see anything about a '97 F350, but if their tech support says it'll fit then give it a shot!

I'm solving my leveling problem a different way. Put 4" stock 4x4 blocks in the back and putting a 3" RSK up front and converting to 4x4 with a Dana 60

I think you can use the SD coil springs on a OBS so it should work

I looked up the price for that kit on Autoanything. It's not very expensive. I'd be interested to know if anyone has installed it. I'd also like to eliminate my font to back rake of 2WD.

I had a daystar kit on my 03 f250 v10. It was nice. The kit says you needs shocks, just a taller shock to compensate for the leveling or what? I might just call them. Im redoing all of the front end links and at that time I would like to do the leveling kit as well. This trucks is still on all factory links, they made it over 280K miles but its starting to seem tired suspension wise now. When I get this truck ironed out, its gonna be rad.

Thanks gents
