79 front spring sag
hello all, my 79 f150 2wd seems to be signifigantly lower in the front than the back, i want the truck leveled out but dont know what the best way to go about doing this is. if i were to replace the front coil springs with new ones, im sure it would help but how long until they reach the level that the old ones are at. could spring spacers do the trick or has any one tried swapping in the coil springs from the 4x4 f150 and seen how they settled over time? just tryin to get some ideas.

I replaced the original OEM front springs on my truck in 1991 when I swapped in the 429.
I went with the springs for a 78 460 w/AC to provide enough spec for the weight.
I suggest you do the same as it is up the front springs to provide for camber and no alignment shop will do an alignment on a truck with sagging springs.
