tbird, do you have taller springs or the spring spacers? i replaced my front springs with the moog cc844 spring which is for the f250. i like how it rides, but only raised the front end 3/4 of an inch. also, what are the specs on your camber bushings. i got some that are -2 to 2 degrees

i have the spring spacers and i don't really know about the camber bushings the idiots at national tire and battery installed them
my only complaint is that with my 33in tires i am worried about my radius arm not having enough leverage to stop axle wrap which would probably break something expensive if that happened

Do you remember what brand of kit it was ? and how big the leveling blocks were?
I have seen kits vary from a 2 inch level to 3 inch.
The most popular i seem to find is the 2.5 inch...... i assume this would be the one to get ?

thanks bill it means a whole lot to know that my hard work is apreciated by someone other than me LOTS of time and money in that truck, although i did throw together the motor with stuff i had sitting around the shop and my friends donated parts as well but i donate stuff to their projects so its all good and bill your truck is also nasty i would have went the other way with it but it's still awesome looking i would have dropped it and put a big motor in it since it's a single cab shortbed...but i always have motors sitting around lol i'm sure that's a problem you don't have, right now i have a 350 with 4 bolt mains that nobody wants and a 402 rat motor sitting in my shop lol
as for shocks i have procomp shocks but they arn't the right lengths in the front since i have quad shocks, i looked for about 2 months and couldn't find any shocks that were the right length and the same brand
ps bill i'm gona take a picture tonight i put 5.0 badges off a mustang on my truck instead of the f150 badges since they broke off during the painting stage

I thought about making my truck into a steed rod like you say but I decided to go the "rough and ready" route. Like you said I don't have big motors lying around. I thought long and hard about putting a 351 in my rig but can't afford it or justify the cost. I'm pretty happy with the Ole' Girl. She could use about a hundred more horsepower though.
Looking forward to those pictures. Do they just say "5.0" or what? You should get a "302" badge and put it on your tailgate! Let all those 350 guys know a smaller V8 is whoopin'em!
