1995 F150 Front Leveling Question
I'm going to level the front of my 1995 F150 project truck I have been working on. 4x4 now with a 351 Engine. Was previously a 302. It has the dual shocks in the front, and appears to be original shocks and springs. I have decided on the MOOG CC824 springs to raise the front., unless someone can recommend something better. I see Jeff's Bronco Graveyard has a set that will raise 1.5" in the JBG name. Rough Country has a similar 1.5" leveling spring. I used the MOOG CC824 on my other 1995 F150 and they seemed to give me the lift I am looking for on this one.
Anyway, What I really want to know is what camber bushings I should order, as I know it will be needed. Also, what replacement shocks are recommended, or just leave the old ones on? I would love Bilstein 5100's, but they are not made for a more stock level like I am doing (Can only find for 4" lift.). I think I would have to go with 4600's. Bilsteins are expensive though.

It is impossible to answer your question about what eccentrics to install. What degree eccentrics are in the now? How much are the springs going to change your current settings?

No idea what is in there now. Whatever stock is I assume. Springs should raise 1.5" to 2" based on the description and my previous experience. Note that last time I did this on my other truck, I wasn't even purposefully intending to level anything. I was just replacing old springs and the CC824 was what the spring shop sold me. I remember that the alignment shop had to install new camber bushings after that, and the alignment and ride were great from that point on.

I doubt every truck that rolled down the assembly line got exactly the same eccentric when it got aligned. I don’t know why the shop sold you that particular spring.
