Leveling Coils
I have a 1996 F-150 4x4 with a 302. I am currently running 32X11.50-15 BF Goodrich all-terrains. If I install these leveling coils would I be able to run 33x12.50-15 BF Goodrich mud-terrains??

The leveling coils I got from Superlift are approxiamtely 2 inch lift. Mine gave me more than 2 inches. All the leveling coils I have seen are about the same thing. The only 2 inch I know of other than that is a body lift. There is also a 3 inch body lift. Then there is 4 6 8 inch suspension lifts. I would advise against body lifts. I don't like them. They don't look right. Also, the center of gravity is changed and the stock suspension is soft so they don't handle as good. I know someone with a 4WD Bronco that is running 33 12.50 15 BFGs with no lift. On my truck the bumper is spaced out an inch or so due to the grille guard mounting brackets. If you don't have a grille guard you can always come up with something solid to use as a spacer to put the bumper slightly forward.

I'm not sure about leveling coils, but i would recomend a rough country 2.5" suspension lift kit. I got one for my truck and it works great and will clear 33" tires (although i only have 31" right now). Plus they are priced decently. The kit raises the front end 2.5" and the back 2" and really levels out the truck nicely and comes with all new shocks, coils, brackets,and hardware. Ive heard people having alignment problems with coil spacers but Ive never used them so I dont know. The wheels can also make a difference on tire fitment.
