which brings me to my next question. hydraulic or nitrogen

 

If it were me, I would use OEM springs from a salvage yard and then look up what springs are required for the truck you pulled them off of. I will say that you could also get a set of springs from a 4WD F-150 and the ride will be a little bit better. F-250 springs generally have a higher load rating and that will affect your ride quality and articulation - just something to think about. Regarding your shocks, I personally really like Monroe Sensa-Tracs, but that's just me.

 

would the rough country leveling coils still be okay for towing

 

arn't there alignment and geometry issues with leveling kits? honest question. especially with these i beams. i thought they drag the camber way out?

 

they do so you have to get it aligned

 

Any bit of lift you add will require new alignment. That's the nature of the TTB.

Back to the OP, ask yourself if it really something you need. I have a lot of people ask mehow I like my lift. To be honest, I wish I didn't have it. If I didn't need basically everything for the suspension from a stock 4WD I would switch back.

 

the f250 springs would add around 1.5-2 inches

 

I have Superlift 117 leveling coils on mine with stock size shocks. It works great. The truck sits about 1.5 or so inches higher. The area where the shock is is probably closer to an inch or so higher. A longer shock is not needed.

If you lift the truck more than 2 inches, you will need a lift kit. I wouldn't go any higher on a 2wd anyway.

You will need the adjustable camber bushings and an alignment.

Then a nice set of 31 10.50s and your set.

 

already have the tires i am pretty sure they are 31s, at least thats what google tells me 265/75 r15s are. they fit but have a random phantom tire rub on the passenger and would like a little more space inbetween them

 

Even though TexasGuy was able to reuse his shocks, they will ultimately limit his suspension travel by an inch or so. If you never plan to go play on fire trails, fields, or very poor dirt or gravel roads, i.e. you plan to stay on paved roads, then you should be okay. Just things to think about.

 

I have 2" leveling spacers and my truck looks great. I'm happy with my decision, now I want bigger tires though.

 

anyone ever use these Premium N2.0 Series Shocks
