Leveling Kit?

Is there any leveling kits to level out a 91 f250? My front sags about 2" compared to my back atleast. I've been browsing some e-bay links, and have seen a couple front add-a-leaf kits.

i bought the leveling springs for my f150 4X4. didnt really it though. they did raise my front about 1&1/2 inches and ofcourse i had to have a aligined. if you find a place make sure they gurantee that it will level your truck, not just come close.

No one guarantees 2"- they always say 1-2" because there was factory variations too. All you can do is stick with the big names... As a matter of fact, Superlift has a pair of leveling coils from their 'scratch and dent' for like $70 on ebay- just saw em yesterday.

Only way you can guarantee 2" is Daystar spacers, but don't get me started on those...

You are going to need an alignment.

Saying that the front sags makes it sound like a problem. The front is supposed to sit lower so that it levels out when you have a load. If you ever plan on using your bed again don't level the truck.

I've had my bed loaded with gravel, and it still sat higher than level.
I don't know what would be causing the problem with sagging though.
As for the person that mentioned coils, I have leaf springs up front.

Ever plow? Best bet for level kits are add-a-leafs from Summitracing.com Pretty cheap, just find what will fit, and if you want a bigger lift, get the stiffer springs for the application, and if you still arent happy, add another... or replace the whole pack

From as long as I've had it, its never had a plow on it. I was figuring just to go the add-a-leaf way. When I put new rotors and break pads on this coming week, I'll likely just put on springs.

I've seen air bag kits. They have them for leaf springs also.

Bagging it isn't a way I really want to go. Don't want to have to put a compressor or anything on.
With putting add-a-leafs on, will it do anything different to my steering? Will all I need be springs, u bolts and center pins?

The leafs will add some lift, but it shouldnt be enough to mess with the front end. other than an possible alignment, you should be all set.
