Question Need some opinions

Hi, i need a few honest opinions. I have a 99 F250 2wd, adn it sets nose low. Now the question, should i put a lift on it to get a little taller and level the ride or drop the back down and go that way??? I am not sure if i would like a 2wd that is lifted even a little??? Any advise would help...

Thanks Joe

It's up to your personal tastes. Any time you lift up the front a bit, you lose fuel mileage. On the other hand, dropping the rear down will cause you to lose a bit of towing capacity. Depending on how heavy you tow, this may or may not affect you. For most loads, this won't be a factor. But if you are towing a loaded down 5th wheel, then you're looking at some major sagging.

I would guess you need new front coil springs. You may notice that the front tires lean inwards to each other? (Negative camber)
