I want to install a leveling kit on my '89 F-250 2WD, single cab long bed. I want to do the coil spacers like these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/191676916476?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
Would these be okay? Its rare I use this truck to haul anything heavy (that's what the 6.4L is for). I have access to a two post lift, to get this thing off the ground. I'm wanting to install them before I get new tires, so I can have the front end aligned w/ the spacers and new tires on. Whats the install procedure? What all will I need to complete this task?

 

From the looks of it, these spacers either fit in between the first set of coils or between the coil spring and the tower. Either way it seems to me you would need to jack the front end up from the frame to take the weight off the springs. Then either slip the spacers in between the coils, or unbolt the upper retaining clip and droop the suspension down far enough to get them in. Hope this helps.

So between the top of the spring and the tower? Would the clip still fit?

 

I'm not sure the clip would fit. It seems the clip would hold the spacer in, but no clue what holds the spring in place.

That will mess up the camber pretty bad. I'm not sure much it would be able to be adjusted when aligning. I know others have had problems lifting these trucks and keeping tires from wearing. The twin i-beam suspension doesn't care for lifts.

 

Yeah the pictures of the product are not very clear. I am guessing by the shape of them, they fit somewhere near the top of the coil spring. It's hard saying for sure. Yes the twin I beam/ twin traction beam is a unique animal. It poses it's own set of challenges when it comes to lifting one. There are adjustable camber bushings available to correct the camber issue. Another option is going to adjustable drop brackets, they use cam bolts to fine tune the camber. If I remember correctly, Tuff Country makes them. I had a set on my 84 F250 4x4 for a while, they worked well. I later did away with the TTB in favor of a kingpin Dana 60. After having had both the coil and leaf sprung version of the TTB/TIB. I much prefer the coil spring set up, it seems to be a little more forgiving when it comes to making camber corrections. I wanted to perk the front end of one of my trucks a bit because the coils were starting to sag a bit. I had a buddy of mine (he runs a laser cutting machine) cut me out a small batch of 3/8" thick washers. After playing with it for a bit I ended up stacking two on each side. I sandwiched them together and used the lower coil spring stud to hold them in place. Then the coil spring mount sat on top and so forth. When it was all said and done I ended up with around 1.5"-1.75" of lift in the front. The camber was right on the money. I did this on my old 96 F150 4x4 I had a while ago.

 

Its been my experience, that more often than not, its the bushings that cause the bad camber rather than the springs. Not always, and this on 4x4s particularly, havent played with 2x's

 

I've had both, but more 4x4s than two wheelers. I didn't see too much of a difference.
