lift front end?
I just got an 89' f-150 from my dad and he installed 1-ton springs on the back in place of the stock 1/2-ton springs. Now the rear end of the truck is way up in the air and the front end is alot lower, it looks really bad. What can I do too bring the front end up to match the rear end or at least come close? Thanks for any help I really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Miles

Is it a 4x4? If it is, then Skyjacker, Superlift, Rancho, Rough country, etc. etc. etc. all make 4" lift's for the front. A couple of them make front lifts for 4x2's, but I think they're kind of goofy looking.

Ok.4x4 you can go higher than 2". No. It will look good with 31's as long as you don't go sky high or something. I personally would'nt go over 4". Remember that you want to maintain some forward rake. Otherwise you will lose load capacity and load handling ability.(forward rake) The reason for trucks leaning forward from the factory.
