94 Crew Cab F150
Guys, here's my Crew Cab F150 that I inherited from my grandfather. I brought it home and it sat for a while. I've been so wrapped up in my diesel stuff, I hadn't had a chance to do anything with it. But I finally found time to do a 40/20/40 front seat swap, and today I gave it it's first mod. Tinted windows. Hurray!!! Anyway, this is the same truck I asked a while back about the sagging front end. I still don't have a solution to it. But I haven't tried anything either. Anyway, you guys let me know what you think.

I believe its a Centurion. Thats cool.
Actually the front sitting low on a 2wd is brought up fairly often. My truck is a 2wd and it sits pretty low in the front.
The sag is probably exagerated by the extra weight of the crew cab and the shocks are probably worn out too.
I have also noticed that on these trucks if you back them up when parking the front will usually sit about an inch lower.
I would try some 2wd F250 front coils and see how that does.

IMHO, Shocks have nothing to do with the stance, just the ride/handling while in motion. And yes, mine sits lower in the front, and when I back up to park, my front-end splays out and seems to toe-in. I always had a question about that, but never got around to ask about that here. I suppose it's a camber issue. (Drives perfect, though...)
Enjoy your rig, it's a keeper.

It's most likely a Centurion, I agree. There was another company doing F150s like this, but Centurion is by far the most common. Since they were sold right on dealer lots and could be ordered from dealers, a lot of folks think they're factory.
I'd say the front suspension is in need of an overhaul, it is squatting for sure. You can try getting beefier components, but the truck is still 14-15 years old, you'll see some droop in that period of time.
I personally wouldn't lower the truck, since it's not a reg cab 2wd shortbed or flareside, but I would see about getting the dent in the door and bed pulled and the front suspension refreshed.
Very cool truck.

The front end squatting down more when backing up is just how the twin I beam setup works I think. I see alot of our era trucks do that.

That would be cool since its a 2wd. I actually thought about lowering the rear of mine. All he would need for that are the 1-2 inch lowering shackles. Then the truck would retain the payload capacity.

That white crew cab looks freakin awesome!
Its got the look of a Lightning.
If you lowered the rear of the Centurion and put new F150 springs up front and put 1st gen Lightning wheels on it that would be sweet.

the guy who built the white 4dr had one bad a s s copper lightning and that is going to be his tow pig.
While no one ever built a 4 door lightning there were quite a few supercab short bed lightnings made by a company called Full Effects. I think a 4 door lightning clone would be bad a s s
