2002 4x4 sagging

[bill chasser]

Hello

Need a question or two answered. I have a 2002 F350 CC 4X4 7.3PSD with dual leaf parallel springs up front. I'm trying to find out what the stock ride height should have been so I can fiqure out what size lift I need to level the body lines to pull my fifth wheel. It is not an FX4 optioned truck. The truck definately has a nose down attitude and it is causing clearance problems at the tailgate and trailer. The axles have already been flipped on the trailer and I dont want to lower the pinbox and unbalance the trailer's suspension. How do I know what lift I need given that my springs are sagging and have a negative arch. Also can anyone recommend a good kit. I dont want to put a lift shackle or mini spring stack like whats being peddled on EBAY. And I'm not concerned about having a stiffer ride from a full spring stack. Any Ideas?

Thanks, Bill

I have the same year and rig as you and I installed an inch and a half leveling kit to front suspension to take out the "rake" and level it up. I can't recall the kit manufacturer or the price, for that matter... hope that helps

go to the junk yard and get some stock front springs for cheap that arent sagging. shouldnt cost much at all
