I have a 2500, that has a 2" leveling kit (coil spacers since it's 2wd):

This pic. makes it look abit high in the front, but it's just the way it's sitting

Here's an oldie, the day after we installed the leveling kit with the old wheels and tires:

To my knowledge, mine isn't leveled at all. This is just the way I got it. No block in the rear at all.

These pics are HUGE (just a warning).

Matt, what lift do you have and tire/wheel combo?

3" body lift with the torsion bars cranked 3/4 up. and 35-12.5-15 pro comp x-terrains on w/e those rims are. lol all i know about the rims is there 15x10

I ordered some new TSL Thornbirds 33-12.50-15 for it though.

You going to crank more?

i'm eventually going to go suspension lift with it but i need to get my own put on my F150 first :lol:. i hate body lifts it just came on there. but i want to lower the T-Bars and just add torsion keys. to fit 33's that thing drives at 7mpg right now :ohnoes:

Darn, I was hoping it was all suspension.
When I actually do get rims/tires, I'm going 17" or 18". (I don't think 15's will even fit on mine. The drums I have in the back barely fit my 16's. Must've changed something over the years.)

Thanks!

You know that the aftermarket torsion keys do the exact same thing to the front suspension as cranking the stock keys, they just let you crank further, right?

Both just twist the torsion bar to put more preload on it.

But doesn't cranking the bars screw up your cv angle and increase wear?
