Leveling kit for 94 XLT F150?

Hey guys and girls, I am brand new to the forum. I am thinking about putting a 2" leveling kit on my 94 F150 so I can fit 33/12.5/15's on it. I want to put a 3" level on the front but can't find 3" blocks anywhere for a 94. Anyone know where I can find 2.5-3" blocks for a 94? Or will 33x12.5's fit with just the 2" level? Thanks

I'm actually fitting 33's on stock suspension right now but this weekend I'm installing moog cc844 springs to replace a broken coil and to give me a level.

Thanks for the reply 1993. Its only 2WD and the 31's actually already rub a little when I lock it out. I know i will need some kind of lift, I am just wondering if the 2" level will be enough.

My guess is that it's not the lack of height that's making it rub, it's the stock wheels. I have the same wheels on my '90 and with 235/75/15's the tread gets close to the control arm. That being said, you could raise the truck but it won't push the wheels/tires out farther away from the control arms at full lock.

The solution would be to either get a set of wheels that bring your tires away from the control arms or use a set of spacers to push them out the needed amount.

As far as a leveling kit goes, your best bet would be to get on the MOOG website and research the stock replacement coil springs for your truck and then also the heavy duty ones. You could easily bring the front up a couple inches with that method.

if like most of these trucks its sloped downhill, bed higher then the front, then id first try the 3" front, you might be surprised that when you measure it after that you have gone up 2" front and 1" rear. thats what mine has done, i did 2" leveling springs on the front then 2" lowering shackles on the back. that almost leveled me.

Anyone know anything about Durango Radial tires? Got a guy wanting to trade. They are 33x12.5x15 m/t's. just wanted to make sure they were decent tires, got about 50% tread on them.
