f100 leaf spring question

so the back of my f100 sits and 1 to 2 " lower than the front. I really dont like the look when i can tell but its not something that needs to be done today.

a while back I was reading and searching on the web and I remember somewhere I read that I might be able to pull leaf springs off a f250 or 350 and put them on my f100 for about a 1-2" lift depending on how worn they were.

I tried researching before I came here but came up empty handed. thanks for the help.

If the ride is still okay you could you could probably find 2" suspension lift blocks instead of sourcing out all new leafs.

I had the same problem with my 98 Explorer. Tried coil over shocks but realized it was only a patch. Replaced the leaf springs and now it's back to normal. Do it right the first time and replace the springs. Not too expensive and pretty easy.

Your truck being a 2wd has 2.5" springs, limiting your choice of springs to F100's and 2wd F150's.
A good set of replacement springs is not that expensive for your truck, and if you are staying stock rideheight probably your best choice.
