okay so i have heavy duty springs and my rear end of my truck rakes REALLY bad so i want to raise the front end up 2-3" without spending a whole bunch of money.

Iv had people to tell me to go to the junk yard and get old spacers and then there is the Ebay ones where some look like this Link 1 , link 2, link 3, and link 4. and honestly probable many other ways to do this.

I am looking to do the front coil spacer but i dont know how to go about doing this and what all i would need. i was looking at something like link one. but the question is, is that the best one and cheapest that will get the job done of course... do i need the stud extenders and do i need a new bud stop.. or even new shocks?



Example Spacers:
Link 1 (BLACK ALUMINUM FRONT LEVELING LIFT KIT 2" FORD F250 1999-2010 2WD 4X2 | eBay)

Link 2 (SILVER LEVELING LIFT KIT 2.5" FRT F-150 F150 04-11 2WD | eBay)

Link 3 (BLACK ALUMINUM FRONT LEVELING LIFT KIT 2" FORD F150 1997-2003 2WD 4X2 | eBay)

Link 4 (1980-1996 Ford BRONCO FULLSIZE 4WD 3" Front Leveling Lift Kit NEW CAST ALUMINUM | eBay)

 

What year truck are we talking about?... seems like you have 2WD,eh? I personally would'nt waste time or money on coil spring spacers...all they'll do is MAYBE give you a small amount of lift before the springs between the spacers collapse.The answer is NEW H/D springs...They're not that hard to replace.

 

yes it is 2wd :/ and it is a 1999.
and how much do you think that would run me$? haha my buddy said to take them off and cake a blow torch to them and stretch them out :P
Redneck way to do it if u ask me :P

 

JC Whitney has them..$93.99/pair....don't even think about stretching the old ones.

 

haha trust me i wasnt going to :P

how can i tell if they will raise the front end up? i wanna get like possible 3" on the front if at all possible :P

 

say i do go with some H/D springs.. says ill get 3-4" which is GREAT! buuut... will i need to do anything with the shocks? or are they go as is?

 

I'm not sure...ask JCW or wherever you choose to buy them.New shocks would probably be good to add.I used Rancho shocks my last time out...they're good.Get the weather protective boots to go with them!

 

search lifted front coil springs, or coil springs with lift, either way is good, they normally dont cost to bad, maybe 130 for a pair, much more "legit" then coil spring spacers.

 

omg... okay so iv look all over for some lift springs.. i cant find ANY that will fit my 1999 2wd f250 superduty XLT 6.8l v10 truck... like there are NONE that will fit my truck that will give me ATLEAST 2" of lift -.-
and im looking for atleast 2" of lift. more like 3" but id take 4" lol :P

 

How about looking for a commercial spring shop in your area,that does work on heavy trucks..I'm sure they'd be able to fix you up....
