Can't find any 80's leveled f150 gallery's

I have searched this site for weeks and have yet to find any photos of a leveled bull nose 4x4 F150. I'm going out and getting mine leveled this week but want to know what it will look like and also want to know how large of tire I can fit. I have the TTB front end. thanks

That looks great but I am just going to level it because i really don't want to mess with the TTB and all of the alignment issues that come with lifting them... And if you know of anyone that needs Rancho shocks i have a set i suppose they are for a 4 inch lift because they didn't help me any.

Question... Leveled?

If you mean the front end the same height as the back, it's not supposed to be like that by design. The front is supposed to be angled slightly lower when the truck is empty. If this is some modification, then that would be a reason why you are not finding any in the galleries as they didn't come "level" that way from the factory.

Thanks....
It is the original paint and according to a 1980 Ford Pickup brochure, it is called Dark Pine Metallic.

not perfectly leveled but pretty close. Running 31 10.50 R15s but plenty of room for 33s even though the pic is hard to see that. It is a 86 F150 4x4 302 supposedly with a leveling kit but like I said it isn't perfectly level it is a little lower by an inch or so.

What I mean by leveled is the front the same as the back I understand they don't come factory like that because when you have a load its supposed to level out itself... But they make leveling kits that just bring the front up to match the back without being overall lifted. That's what I am asking for is just a picture of a Leveled truck. Thanks though and I'm sorry I'm pretty new to the site and don't know all of the Lingo you use if I am wrong by saying leveled.

No problem at all.

I'm the one who needed information on what you wanted.
