I have a 2002 f150 xL 4.2l 5speed v6 2 door short bed 2 wheel drive truck. It sits way to low for me in the front. I want to run 265/75/16 tires on it(33s) and have it level. I need to know which level kit I need to buy. I'm limited on funds. 3"? 2.5"? 2"? Idk what the soze difference is from front to back! Please help!!

 

I would measure the bottom of the front fender, behind the tire....... and the bottom of the rear fender in front of the tire ........ to the GROUND and take the difference in the two numbers.

 

measure the distance from the top of the front fender well opening to the ground... put a floor jack under the truck frame behind the radiator..... jack up the front end until the truck looks level standing out to the side...... now measure the distance from fender well opening to the ground again to see how much you have lifted the truck.

 

thank you thank you thank you. Now do you have any idea on what sort of spacers I should look for? Steel? Rubber? Do they have 3 bolts on top? I want to get the right ones the first time

 

3" spindle lift.

 

the best way would probably be a new spindle as KD said. the cheapest way is to add a block on each spring ... I don't know if steel or rubber makes a difference.

The spindle lift retains the ride and leaves the front end geometry the same. Spacers will make it ride rough plus wear out the front end parts much quicker.

 

really dont have the the money for the spindle lift. Any ideas on which spacers to get? I'm not to worried about the ride or parts wearing. I've rode spacers on my other truck and it rides beautiful.
