My 2000 F350 looks too low in the front. I’ve noticed that mine isn’t the only one though. Looks to me like all of the 2 wheel drives with the 7.3 have the same issue.
I just finished overhauling the front end to see if it would help. Most of the parts had 289,000 miles on them anyway. New wheel bearings, brakes, coil springs, shocks, ball joints, center link and tie rods. Still looks droopy. Lower in the front than in rear.
Has anyone else successfully resolved this problem. Maybe it’s just me and it’s not a real problem. But I don’t like the way it looks. The 4x4’s look fine, like they are sitting level.
I bought some 2” spacers to be installed underneath the coils and some longer bolts to account for the spacers. Also ordered longer shocks and sway bar links. Haven’t installed any of that yet. Wanted to see what others were doing if anything.
I came up with 2” by parking the truck on a reasonably flat surface then measured the top of the front wheel well openings. Then jacked the front till it looked level. It raised the fender openings 2”. Not scientific or remotely accurate but it seems reasonable to me. Thank yu all in advance.
All trucks really sit lower in the front than the back. It’s designed that way so when you have cargo load in the bed the truck sits level rather than raise the front end. Rear who drives tend to sit lower just because they don’t need the clearance a 4x4 needs so they look even more “saggy”
I’d be interested to know if your truck has lift blocks under the rear springs being a 1 ton. My truck had 2” blocks in the rear that I removed to achieve a “level”. My truck is 4x4 though
Probably been 20+ years ago I had a third leaf made for the two sagging there in the front. It picked the front end up to where I have an inch and a half to two inch difference between the front and back instead of the three and a half inches the F350's have. Still looks like the day it got done...

Looks really clean, but the OP's truck is a 2 wheel drive so he has a totally different set-up in the front.
