Changing Coil Springs
Hey folks, I have an 85 f150 4x4 w/351. They guy I bought it from added a rear block {1/2 lift} on the rear springs. Anyway I need to raise the front about 2-3 inchs.
Now with the stock coil spring on there now...how much sag is that? What I want is to level it out. SO would 2 inchs over stock be about right or too much?
Also going with overstock springs, will I have to buy the adjustable cambers?
Thanks in advance...
Mike

You will definitely need to get the frontend aligned if you boost the height of the springs. I believe 2 inches is considered the max you can go without serious alignment problems. The frontend shop will install the proper camber bushings.
