ebay leveling kits

Anyone have experience with the ebay 2" leveling kits? These are 2 inch blocks that set under the front coil springs. My 93 f150 has too much of a "raked" look to it and after swapping a heavier cummins 4bt for the stock 300 6, the front sits even lower than before.

I think that bringing the front up 2-3" and going with 32" tires would give my pickup a good stance.

Thanks for the picture, that's the look I'm after. Were the spacers easy to install? And do they present any alignment issues?

yes you need to get camber bushings that are adjustable becuase it throws your camer so out that you'll be scared to drive your truck, you also need to get longer shocks and nobody that i could find sells the 2in longer shocks for the quad shock front end and you have to order them to length instead of saying what truck you have.....

rough country suspension sells the shocks for the dual shock front end on these fords... i beleive they have a wide assortment of shocks to compensate for the lift/level that you will be doing on your truck..... im about to buy their leveling springs instead of the spacers, and rough country were the only people that i could find that sold the shocks for the dual shock front.... check it out.

Can you get by with the stock length shocks? The vendors selling the spacers don't mention the need to purchase new shocks......of course they may be willing to say anything just to make a sale.

Roughly what do the camber bushings cost? And will most alignment shops know how to perform an alignment after the leveling kit install.....in other words is the alignment process about the same as for a stock truck?
