Leveling Springs

I have a 1982 F150 frame up restoration. I have the typical problem were the back end of the pickup is higher than the front. I heard that there is a thing called leveling springs. Can someone point me in the right direction to obtain these. Thanks Art

Leveling Springs

Leveling springs are usually used to bring the backend back up to a level height once you are carrying a load. They typically have little influence on an unloaded vehicle. To drop the rear, you either need a kit or to remove a leaf from your spring set.

Superlift makes front leveling coils that make the front about the same height as the back for about 100 bucks. I put them on my 95 F150 and it looks and handles much better than stock
