leveling kit/tire size?

as a first time truck owner i have a few questions. i have a stock '95 F150 4x4 that i would like to lift the front end to the rear end height and ad bigger tires. first of all what is the best way to level it, can i go to 33" tires because it looks like i have plenty of room in the rear for them. also would i need to make any other mods. to anything else. i was going to go to 31" but now i'm thinking 33's would look alot better. any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks

Come on guys. I want to lift the front 2 inches. will 33" inch tires fit? Should I go with coil spring spacers or different springs? Will I have to shim the bumper? Please help!!!! Thanks

I'd go with a leveling kit that has a a new spring and caster adjustment bolt. As for fitment, no two trucks are exactly alike, so it's difficult to say. It will probably fit, but you probably won't be able to put on a snow chain.

Skyjacker sells a 2" suspension kit that will allow 33X12.50s. It is about $200 from Summit Racing, I bought one. And the camber adjustors are like $75 for both.

Thanks guys. I live about 30 miles from summit so I will check it out. Also I have stocks aluminun rims (very nice) so I'm not sure 33x12.5x15 will fit the rims. I might have to go with 33x10.5x15. I'll have to check it out.
