Leveling My 99 F250

[volsfan411]

I want to level my F250 however don't want to spend the $$ right now for a leveling kit if I don't have to. I work at a machine shop so, I can build shackles to lift the front of the truck up. I have seen a guy on ebay with some to lift the front up 1.5" but I need to go 2.5". Can I lift the front up 2.5" with out having to change anything like shocks or anything else right now and what are anyones thoughts on doing this?

2x4 or 4x4? i bought a 2'' leveling kit for my 2000 2x4 at -http://www.fatbobsgarage.com/cart/ $49

you should be able to get 2 inches if you fab up some shackles get the spec on the onse you found and build them a lil longer but a levering kit only cost about 3 bills

My truck is a 4x4

Do a GOOGLE search for "99 F250 leveling kit" I found several that were availiable for my 350, that didnt cost alot. Or, ebay always works too!!

they do sell a 3in. shackle kit on ebay it drops the front and rear of the spring to get the proper angles not just the front like some kits. but i bought a 2 1/2 in. leveling kit from summit racing for 275

For the 350, you'd have to use a 3 1/2" leveling kit right? 2 1/2" is for the 250's am I correct?

I thought that the add a leaf leveling kits makes for a ruff ride + getting the wife to ok the $$ for a leveling kit is harder the leveling the trunk. lol

the kit i bought has 2 new springs completely and it ride like stock bug 3 inches higher. I love it mine is a 1 ton tho. it cost a lil more.

I put a single add a leaf under my 350 and it is good and level and rides like factory. Mine was found for under a hundo.
