1995 F150 2WD
How high can you lift the front of a 95 2WD F150 with out causing problems with the alignment?? I lifted mine about 2.5 inches and now the people at 2 different alignment shops tell me that even with the camber cams they can't align it. Any advice or tips are greatly appreciated.

I raised my 93 about 2inches. They had to install new alignment cams and were able to align it to specs. In reseaching for my
lift I believe I read 2 inches was the max lift without replacing
I-beams, hope this helps.

i got a 2 3/4" lift in the front and my tries are toe in. I read somehwere you can buy something like adjustable ball joints, (don't quote me on this) and there were around $150 and the alignment can be adjusted. ithink you can buy it from superlift. not sure either though.

murphy, your truck has 6" of lift and only 31's? my 89 is stock and as 31x10.5x15's do have any pics of your truck(i was thinking of lifting mine) but since it gets 10.8mpg right now i gottta fix that first.

The weird thing is until you said it, to me it doens't look like a 6 inches of lift. I got new front springs that brought it back up from what the stock sagging springs were at. He said it lifted it 2 3/4 inches. it is noticableI got all new leafs in the back which raised it like 4", all the stock leafs were cracked in the middle. i just put a 3" body lift on it, i would say it is more likely lifted 5". Don't have money to get bigger tires. i want to get some 33" tires, so i can use my stock rims. dont' feel like dishing our more money. i have to take some pics and post them sometimes.

Hey texas, we lifted my brother in law's 91 4x4 6", the kit had blocks for the read to angle the rear end up, as far as the sway bars, we left one of them unhooked and it handles just fine.

I am in the process of putting a 4 inch Superlift kit on my 95' 2wd F-150. As far as i know there are no problems in getting the alignment right. I will be back when the kit is complete and i get some miles on it.
