Probably a very stupid question

I dont know much about suspension, but I've heard that Ford front ends leave plenty to be desired. Mine certainly does... for some reason my drivers side seems to sag (even if I don't let my fat cousin drive).
What sort of aftermarket options are there for a more durable and better handling suspension (I learned to drive in a Camaro, and I am NOT accustomed to slowing down for turns).
I'm also interested in leveling kits... the bed-over-cab look doesn't appeal to me.

Any recommendations or comments on affordability?
Thanks

No questions are stupid ,Since you didn't say what type of truck you have, it's kind of tough to give you any info regarding your truck.

Also, I would suggest to sell your truck and buy something that more suits your driving style, or one time when you don't slow down to turn, you will be on your roof.


What model do you drive ? 4x4 or 2x4? regular cab? etc.

My bad... I actually had included the truck's description originally, then did some last minute shortening of what I had typed.
'94 F-150 XL, shortbed standard cab with 4.9 I6.

As for my driving style, I've been plotting to get a 66 Chevelle, but I can't afford one straight out. I'll be saving well into next year for that. In the mean time, part of that savings is going into my truck. I will enjoy the mods now and get my money back out of it at resale (maybe not all of my money of course, but enough to justify making the truck more fun in the meantime).
