Question Front end lift/level

What is the best way to level the front end of my truck to get rid of the factory slope? How much will it have to be raised. Any info is greatly appreciated.

You can lift the front end (listed from cheapest to most expensive)with coil spring spacers (Daystar's, not the cheap wedge in type), lift coils or lift spindles. You can also lower the rear end with drop shackles.

Put 400 lbs in the back. Any more weight and the headlights will be pointing up in the air.

Front end LOW

First of all, welcome to F150online from Canyon Lake, Texas!
Yeah, my '02 S'crew is about 2" lower in front than the back. If you use "spindle" lift, you'll probably need a lift block in the rear to keep it level. Daystar is available in 1.5" to 2.5" spacers for the top of the coil spring. Then there is the "replacement" front spring w/upper control arm. Seems to me the "spacers" are the "simplist". I need (or want) to do the same to mine, just have not gotten up the money to do it. Good luck!:thumbsup
