leveling help

I searched the forum, and found good info, but I need a bit more specifics for my '02.

I want to level the truck out more front to back. Not completely, just a bit (maybe 2"). What is the best way to achieve this? I have read that you can 'add a leaf' but there are no leafs in my front that I can see (me = newbie). I see tough country has some kits.

I am 2002 F250 SD 7.3L Diesel AT SRW LB 2x4

Also, is it something I can do myself to save costs?

thanks!

i am not sure i have seen any kits to level the 2 wd. you are right you don't have leaf springs you have coil springs in the front. i would go to google and search "2wd leveling kits" and see what comes up.

hope that helps

I called Bosstrucks.com in San Ramon. They had done one 2wd kit a few months ago, and quoted me ~$250 for the leveling kit. They stated its basically blocks that fit on the springs. Then alignment. Seems reasonable, I will probably go with them.

TJ - hey thanks for the info.

There is (as far as I know) not too many options available to level your 2wd truck other than polyurethane coil spring spacer levelers. You can find them at The Suspension Connection.
