Need leveling advise???????

I've got Ford F450 springs in the front and F350 springs on the rear of my EX. It raised it up about 2" but kept the same stance so to speak (taller in rear than in front). My question is this........How can I raise the front to level it out? I know about the level kist for the stock springs but would that work withthe spring set up I have? I just went and measure it from the asphalt to bottom of the fender in the rear is 3" higher than in the front. So......I'm guessing 2-3" more in the front would do it? Also would I have to change anything driveline wise? Thanks for all your help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I guess I should expand a bit.............I know the traditional level kits wont work but was wondering if they make a different kind of kit that does not replace the springs? I've been looking and have not found anything yet?

Dang!!!!!!!! Tuff crowd!!


Again...............I have F450 springs on the front and want to raise it up 2-3" more. The springs I have on the front are only 2 leafs. Can I buy a "mini spring pac" or a "add aleaf" for the F450 and that will work? Does anyone have any other ides??? I really need to get the front up more level with the rear. Ideas please..............

No really big tires...........jsut 285's right now but will be going to 305's pretty soon. I just want it level. The F350 springs raised it in the back and the F450's raised the front but it's still 3" taller in the back. I was thinking of the Donohoe mini spring pacs? Says will only raise it 2" but it's not too expensive at $200. I guess if I went with the add a leaf, I would have to get a set for the F450?

The only thing I can think that may work is the Donahue mini pak springs. They are exactly as named and supposed to lift your truck about 2 inches. Look at KLMperformance.com
