leveling kit on a ttb
Hey yall,
I am kickin the idea around of adding a 2 inch leveling kit to my 89 f-150. the truck already has a 6 inch superlift and i'd really like to level the front out with the back. i'm curious to know if the 6 in axle drops are long enough to keep the suspention geometry intact. i have also thought about swapping in 8 in lift coils from skyjacker. right now i run 36x14.50 pj's and i want to go up to a 38 but i strongly don't like the idea of a body lift. any thoughts or ideas are much appreciated.

you talking about adding an "add-a-leaf" to the front spring packs? F150s run coils so that'd be a no go. As of now my trucks is higher in the back and lower in the front. So i either wanna put a coil spacer up front or new coils. I'm sure the truck would benefit from new coils. It is 17-18 Years old now.

yea the coils in the truck now are 2 year old superlift 6 in. lift coils. i was looking at just a simple coil spring spacer from bronco graveyard but i'm still concerned about the front end geometry being off, depending on whether or not the 6 inch drop brackets are long enough for 8 inches of lift.

also everyone if i do choose to just lower the back of the truck the rear blocks are stacked, i know a bad idea but i didn't have anything to do with that. can i remove the factory block with the spring tab and leave just the lift block, or will that throw off my pinion angle?
