95 f150 4x4 leveling spring/tire size?

I have a stock 95 f150 4x4 that has pretty saggy springs and I plan to replace them with a 1.5" leveling coil spring. My current tire size is 30x9.5x15 and i would like to go up to a 33x10.5x15. Do you think this will give it a nice lifted look? Does anyone have a set up like this or should i go with something else? thanks

Just make sure you get the drop pivot mounts to match the lift coils or you will have issue's aligning it.

that being said 33x12.50's wont be a issue.

With just a 1.5" leveling spring, there is no need to change the center pivot stuff. When you go to a 4" or more lift is when you will put a drop in the center pivot. Any lift will require a front end allignment on that TTB axle. Just expect to check it more frequently after the lift because they are know to never keep an alignment afterwards, especially if you use the truck off road and flex the suspension.

Ok thanks. Ill prolly have to get a new bushing for the camber to be adjusted. Do u know how big of a tire I could potentially get with just the leveling kit?

back when I 1st lifted my 95 f150, I swapped in a set of 2wd F350 coils and got about 1.5" lift. A little shimming and monor trimming of the bumper and I fit 33x12.5's with no isues.

Does is matter what year/engine f350 or just any OBS 2wd f350 Springs? Because i actually came on today with the same problem, except i have 31s but i want the front to sit up level or close to it. At autozone i can get a new set of 95 f350 springs for $105, and just want to be sure before i order them haha

I would think a gasser, because some off a 7.3 truck would be a stiff ride, but hell idk for sure
