front end leveling for 4x4
I have a 98 f-150sc 4x4 that I would like to level out the front end. Is turning the torsion bars the best way or will this lead to problems with alignment or anything else.
I suspect that it would only take 1-1.5" to level the front. If anyone has any ideas or knowledge on this that would be cool. thanks

Yep thats the best way to do it. When you only raise it 1 to 1.5" you shouldn't have any problems. If you raise it more than that you will most likely need to get an alignment.

Thanks Powerstroker!!! I leveled it a couple of days ago and only needed about 1". I'm stoked it looks much better.
