just picked up a 1999!

ive been an OBS guy for a long time and still am but i just picked up a 99 f250 4x4 7.3 6 speed and a long bed. my question to all is why is the front end is so low on this truck? and what would be the cheapest way to level it.
oh ya i picked it up for 2K it has 163K on it and a new oilpan. I STOLD IT!

Yea, but does it run???
That's a steal for sure! A new oil pan is a nice fix already done. And that's not many miles, what's the story behind it???

Is it an early '99 or late '99? Easiest way to tell is look at the intake boots going to the manifold, are they smaller than the intercooler boot (e99), otherwise it's easier to do big expensive mods (turbo).
