Question Lifting the front end??

I have a 93 F150 XLT 2wd and it sits low in the front and real high in the back. I would like to level it out and put 30-31 inch tires on, but i cant because its too low up front. Ive looked at some kits from this site, http://www.rockymountainsusp.com/fd2_F150.htm#hk, but im unsure on what would be best, or even where to start with this project.

Any of those kits should be fine. I less expensive alternative would be a set of Daystar coilspring spacers.

well, i found these springs on this site and they look to be the same price as two new springs are, but not as much lift increase, http://www.roughcountry.com/ford_2wd..._leveling.html . my coil springs need to be replaced anyway, is it smarter to go with the 1.5 lift and new springs, or could i do the new springs and daystar coil spring spacers later?

First, I'm not real familar with your model trucks. But, if you think your coils are sagging then it would be best to find a kit that includes new coilsprings. Also, with most trucks there is a limit on how high you can go with lifted coilspring or coilspring spacers and still get the front end aligned within specs. For instance on the 97-03 4x2's, if you go over 2 inches with just coils, you need longer upper a-arms to get the alignment within specs. I'm not sure what that limit is on your 93.
