Skyjacker 2in coils

Where is a good place to purchase skyjacker or superlift leveling coils? When installing these coils is there much more to it than swapping coils and realigning?

Nope, swaping coils and an alignment is all. The alignment will be kind of far off because you don't have any axle pivot drop brackets (not needed). So be prepared to get an alignment quickly. ntwonline.com, summitracing, desertrat.com, 4wheelparts.com, lots of places have them.

Thanks. I am in need of an alignment and shocks anyway. I figured I would do it all at once. Can I order longer shocks from most any lift company? I think I am going to add a one inch block in the rear as well since I will still be towing a trailer.

You'll have to get a 3" block and remove the stock 2" block.

Yes, that's what I meant by a one inch lift block. That way it will stay level when I tow, as it does now. Thanks for all the helpful info and the heads up on http://www.broncograveyard.com/ .

There are coil spring spacers also for sale just beneath the coils on this page:
http://broncograveyard.com/products/cat/20/179
How much extra lift could I add with these? Half an inch or less? I would be interested in using a few of these when I do the swap. Which would my truck need, hex or round cut?

Anyone have any pics of an F150 with leveling springs installed?

You can't use spacers and leveling coils together w/o axle pivot brackets, radius arm drop brackets (or longer radius arms). By then you mind as well just go buy a 4" lift kit and save yourself all the extra work/money.

Yeah, I was wondering if they would be too much. Thanks.
