Rough Country makes a leveling kit for it, all it is is a add-a-leaf for the front, but they say you might need longer shocks. You can buy it from four wheel parts for like $150 for just the leafs. That and there is a guy on ebay RCX it think it is that runs auction for thr rough country distributor and if you call him instead of buying it he'll sell you whatever you want at the ebay price which is lower than retail.

IS the reverse shackle kit something that can be done by yourself or does it have to be bought and what materials are needed if any

i think the reverse shackle is for the f350. the op has ifs. i went with a skyjacker add a leaf. leveled my 97 right up.

IMHO, tuff/rough country lifts are junk. from the leafs to the drop brackets.. nothing but low quality shizz

You wouldn't happen to have a part number on the Sky Jacker leafs do you? Called a local shop and they don't see a listing for a diesel...

Hey that's fine. I've seen a guy on ebay selling them so I'm wondering if they are discontinued and he just has left overs...

wish i could level my truck out, just blew 300 on springs rebuilding them and adding a leaf with new parts and the higher you bring the truck to level the more the tires bow out and looks stupid, hate the D50!

I don't think you will like Rough Country's springs. I put a set of 2" leveling springs under my truck and it now rides like a Sherman tank.
