Leveling kit available?

Does anyone know if there is a mild lift, sometimes known as a leveling kit, available for my 1989 F-150 4x4? The front end on these trucks sits a little lower than the back, plus I have overload springs to boot. A spring spacer of 1-1.5 inches would be what I had in mind, though a lift spring of 1-1.5 inches would be OK too. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks- Chuck

You can do a search of that item right here on the site. One of the supporters, J.C. Whitney offers springs from several vendors from S&G to Tuff Country as well as Daystar levelling kits. Just check out their website: jcwhitney.com.

Thanks guys. I went to the JC Whitney website and found exactly what I was looking for, a spacer for the coil for around $100.

Thanks for the tips!- Chuck
