leveling coils

ive read through pasts post and still can't get a direct answer...
i have a f150 94 xlt 351 4x2, i want to level the front out with the back completely (to make it look like a 4x4) does anyone know which ones are the best and if they level it out completely? id appreciate it if you would tell me the brand and where to order it online. and by the way i am thinking about putting 32x11.5's bfg allterrain ko's under it after the lift, is it enough lift? of will i have to get a 2 inch body as well

leveling coils

You could get a 2" leveling coil kit from skyjacker would be the best choice. Check the classifieds, i think there is a set going for sale. They are easy to install, need an alignment afterwards. Pretty $$$$ for 2 inches of lift, but if thats what you wanna do, go for it i can't stop ya! I think you should be able to fit 32s just fine under there, you might have some rubbing on the radius arms but its not a big deal, you can even fit those on your stock rims. Good luck!


Primary rig is:
95' F-150 EB 300/6 5 spd with 4" Superlift, MSD, Ram Air, Gibson Exhaust, 32" BFG Muds
NEW PICS IN MY GALLERY!! :-)


Then theres:
88' F-250 Superduty 351 + c6
95' Mercury Cougar 4.6L V-8
80' E-350 300/6 and a
3 spd column shifter baby. Top speed, 65mph, Go Baby Go!

The newest addition to the Ford family is a 99' Mustang GT 4.6L

leveling coils

I put the Skyjacker 2" leveling coils on the front of my 93 F-150 4X4. Truth in advertising, they worked. My rig now sits level. I ordered mine through 4Wheel Parts Distributors and in their catalogue they in fact had a listing for 2" leveling coils for a 4X2. Don't know for sure, but it's probably the same P/N as the 4X4 version. Like somebody already mentioned the required front-end alignment afterwards cost me more than twice what the new springs cost. I think I paid $120 for the springs and the FEA cost me $255. I'm in Hawaii though, and that kind of work seems to cost more over here. Good luck.

i am thinking about buying used skyjacker coils he says they have 50 miles on them, its 110 (shipping included) or i can order some new ones off 4wheelparts.com for 195 which route should i go, after being used does it hurt the springs at all like make them sag a little
