Save your money. I would suggest not going over a 31x10.50x15 on a F150, which should fit at stock ride height, assuming you have the styled steel or aluminum wheels. The base slotted steel wheels do not have enough offset to clear in the front while turning, tire rubs on the radius arm.

What gears in the rear axle do you have? If it is a smaller number than 3.55, you will regret getting bigger tires. Bigger tires will kill your gas mileage (more unsprung weight, and worse aerodynamics), and make it harder to load the groceries. I run 235-75-15 on my F150 (300-E4OD-2wd-3.08 gears) and have gotten up to 21 mpg. It is not great at towing, however.

 

I've had 3 of these trucks over the last 20 years and they were set up this way. Went bigger once and it was a mistake. Just level it with Superlift 117 front coils or msybe BDS and run 31 10.50. This is really the perfect setup on a 2wd. It will still sit slightly lower up front but nothing like stock. Rides and handles better too. You can go to 32 11.50 if you really want to. Anything bigger with the relatively low power these trucks have will make it no fun to drive. I wouldn't put an actual lift kit on a 2wd unless it's being built as a prerunner.

 

Leveling kits compensate for added weight in front like a winch or a heavy bumper. Using them to point your headlights in people's eyes makes you a dumb@***.

If you screw with your suspension you will end up with a useless POS. It is a good first step on the way to the junkyard.
Learn to laugh at dumb@sses instead of joining the herd. The world has enough sheep already. Work on what is between your ears.

 

Lift the front and lower the rear. Give her some squat.


...Just kidding!

Leveling springs can help a bit with looks but it doesn't do much good in the grand scheme of things. These trucks were designed to perform well inside the limitations of the equipment. Past that, something's gotta give somewhere. Leveling springs and oversize tires is going to be hard on the steering gear, bushings, ball joints, and shocks. Chances are a set of new stock front springs would help level out your truck; springs do sag as they age.

 

You really seem to take everything you see on this forum that you don't like personally. I've seen people do far worse to them than this. Check out OBS Revolution on Facebook. I fail to see how this makes me or anyone else a *******. The truck is a light duty half ton truck. The leveling kit actually still leaves a bit of a height difference in favor of the rear for hauling, as it only raises the front approx 1.5 inches. Just need a good alignment afterwards If the headlights are adjusted appropriately it is just fine. I personally believe that my trucks have all handled and rode better after doing the front springs. It does not infact render the truck useless. Most of these trucks in 2wd form with the extreme rake drive awful (esp cornering) in my opinion. I also added front and rear sway bars to all my trucks like this.

 

I just do not see what is so bad about this. Headlights are adjusted correctly and are not some ridiculous HID setup. A 4wd F150 and Bronco sit higher. The stock tire size 235 75 15 is far too small and is the same size they used on Rangers and Explorers. A 31 10.50 is perfect for our trucks and I believe was factory on some Broncos.

 

The front and rear sway bars are the difference. Adding the front ones usually requires different spring perches that have the attachment point for the sway bars, so spring replacement is the time to add one.

I feel F150s of this vintage look fine on 31-10.5-15 tires. If bigger tires are desired, especially on a 4x4, might as well go right for a F350 for the solid front axle and stronger frame.

 

You are definitely correct about the sway bars being the significant key to better handling. However, I have almost always had the leveling coils done on each of these trucks before actually doing the sway bars and all around ride quality and handling was improved. I agree about this era of truck looking great with these trucks in half ton form. Thousands of them had this size installed to replace original tires when they were nearly new. Perfect fit. I also tend to agree somewhat about getting a truly bigger truck if one is desired. Always wanted an F250 4wd.

 

The stock coils sucked from the factory. Add 20 years of gravity, even worse. They simply ride better with upgraded springs. Could stupidity or laziness hurt the ride? Absolutely....but proper alignment on quality springs is a winning combo.

 

Rear springs don't last forever either. The body manual has specifications for ride height.
