2003 7700 2wd has leveling kit..... what now?
Alright guys. Ive got the 2003 F150 7700 series, 2 wheel drive... I have already installed the 1.5 leveling kit. Now Ive got the fever and want more lift. I am looking at getting 3 more inches. My budget will be around 600 dollars give or take a few hundred. Here are a couple of options....
1. Body kit and do it myself
2. body kit and pay for someone to do it
3. lift spindles and do it myself
4. lift spindles and pay somebody
5. idk?
I need to know what will be around 600 or less..... Ive read and read and read on this board, and everybody has different opinions on everything.
before leveling kit....

1.5 just isn't enough to level :angry: Thats why i went 2.5 up front and an inch in the rear. With only a 2.5 up front i was nose high, so i had to get shakels for the rear. Thats a sweet looking truck you go there. Just needs some XLT mirrors. For tires i reccomend Firestone Destination A/T, DO NOT GET Dayton A/T's basically the sam tires but mine are wearing bad were as my Firestone A/T's didn't. Thank the Lord there getting replaced for free.

id say get spindle and a BL and that will probably be about 600 bucks installed yourself. if you dont wanna get new tires now id say do 3" BL with the 33"s

You could also call the ford dealership near you and get them to find out if you front susp. specs are the same as a regular f150.
And remember, if you do lift spindles, you need somthing to level out the rear with it. Unless youre ordering a spindle kit that comes with everything...Idk, its your truck. But I know if I could, I would keep everything susp. as long as its possible.
And btw, you couldve kept saving and got just went ahead and got the 7.5" fabtech kit like most of us have! You could get it from 4wheelparts for about $1000.
