2003 2WD leveling Kit
Hello all I recently bought a 2003 Crew cab 7.3 2WD truck, the guy i bought it from had purchased 2.5" Nylon front leveling kit with stud extenders. My mechanic put them on yesterday and advised that i needed to get it aligned as the Camber is way out. So i set an appointment with my local Boulevard Tire to do the alignment with camber kits. I drop it off and get a call 30 mins later they put it on the rack and tell me that there is no way they can get the camber kits to fix the issue. The guy tells me that i need I-beam brackets.
I have searched everywhere for these brackets for a 2wd truck and I cannot find them anywhere?
So my question is has anyone else had problems with these 2.5" spacer lift kits from ebay? I only wanted the level look as the front is so low on these 2WD's.
I really just need help figuring out a work around or should I go to a different alignment shop?

I've been looking at this kit for a long time. If you read the description it tells you need aftermarket Camber Eccentrics. Available at NAPA Hope this helps!

We used a 2.5” spacer and got new springs. The two gave us about 4” lift. You can also get drop shackles that allow you to lower the back a little too. You can get your alignment very close with the right shop.

Yes it can be aligned by a shop that knows what they are doing. You can go the moog adjustable pills or you can go with a corrected stock pill. Either way, it’s a little time consuming but still you need someone that knows what they are doing. I have the 2 1/2 puck under the springs on a 2wd......and yes the alignment was off when I installed them....good luck finding that shop. If I remember correctly, I also had to grind a little of the arm so it wouldn’t rub....
