1-2" IFS lift

Hey guys hows it going? I have a 91 f150 short box. I want to level it out so i can fit 33's. I was considering a 2" spring lift, with alignment bushings. Or coil spacers, as well as alignment bushings. I am worried about problems with alignment afterwards.
I would appreciated any been there did that.
thanks
dave

record your current alignment so they will have something to go by. otherwise, never again the same,...

1-2" you shouldnt have any problems aligning. in fact you maynot even need the alignment bushings but i dunno for sertain. point being is you will be fine as long as your axles aren't bent.... in which case you will have bigger problems! lol

NM, i was thinking of when my friend went from 2" (no alignment issues) to 6" (TTB bit_chin all the time)
Easiest fix is deffinately (without a doubt) swaping in a built 460, rear D70, front D60, both ARB locked, ladder bars, 44" boggers, and 6-8" of lift w/ minor trimming. No brainer...

My alignment is ------ already, without any lift. Don't get me started.....

^_^ Outside edge of right side front...25% tread, inside 90% tread...the rear is even worse, it was the first to enjoy the front...I'll get around to finding a decent alignment shop someday.

go with a set of progressive rate leveling coild up front, and i would get the new bushing reguardless of any alignment issues, as you will have the issues sometime down the road.

But yeah that will bring the front to be perfectly level with the rear and will look very good 33's, and on that note you might have to space the bumper out a bit to avoid rubbing issue's.
