Will the front end leveling pucks work?

Ordered a set of leveling pucks for my '95 F150 XL 2wd. Now I have read that they will not work on an XL. Has anyone installed these on their XL? I thought that these trucks were vertually the same XL and up as long as it was 2wd to 2wd. If this doesn't work what is the major difference in the XL from all the rest? Thanks.

It is the same, 2wd is 2wd...XL is trim package (Power windows/Manual Windows, etc)

You're correct on this...XL/XLT/etc is all just trim packages...

I thought I was right about that. Don't know why they have them listed as they won't work on XL.

Because companies do the listing, SEVERELY uninformed as to what actually works/does not work...

its almost common sense:

-remove wheels

-remove coil spring bracket (at top of spring)

-remove coil spring

-tighten stud extenders (included)

-place the spacer

-add the coil spring

-tighten coil spring bracket

-tighten wheels

when you have it on jack stands, place the stands on the frame to let

suspension cycle down letting you have room to play and easily squeeze the

spring back in.

update- They don't fit! The bolt extention is way to small. My bottom retainer nut is 1 1/8". The extention that comes with the kit is 1" or smaller. so I'm keepin the lower front end for now.
