thanks ace, great site. i still wanna shop around and see what others got.
justin, they have a 1.5" leveling kit and a 2.5" lift. is the 1.5 the one u were talkin about?
1 more thing, has anyone ever heard of combining suspension and body lifts? is it possible?

Yes that is possible, but most people I have talked to that have put body lifts on say it wasn't worth all the work put into them.

well what do you want? the front to be a little higher or the whole truck to sit a little more stout? when i put on that 2.5 lift it took a good 6 hours or so for me and my dad to do it. new springs shouldnt take long at all. just all about thwat you want

I have a 73 f350 4x2 super camper special XLT, i to wanted to level the truck up however the lift-kits are designed for 4x4's, they tend to have a longer and moreopenly flexible stearing, I bought a basic body lift 3" from summit racing and some parts I couldnt use, for example the stearing at the knuckle before the gear box will raise however much you lift the truck in a linear movement "straight up" that one had me stumpt for a bit, so I made a gear box that would attach at the column with a gear on a chain down to another gear for the gear box , all enclosed in two pieces of 1/2 x4x6 plate bolted together with the gears and chain encased for strength and stability.
bottom line you can use the spacers but as far as stearing be-carefull on what you come up with and good luck.
