It might sound like a silly question to some but does raising the front 2.5" effect fuel mileage? I wonder if the drag under the truck is worse from the lift causing fuel mileage to worsen. I had a 98 Jeep Cherokee that I lifted 4" and could definitely see a drop in mpg.

Where did you get this for $90.00 and do you know if it available for an '02?

Red02FX4 you don't need a level kit for your truck. The 97-03 F150s have a torsion bar which you can adjust to obtain up to 3" of lift (Nobody recommends going over 2.5" though).

Wingman4... Thanks ... found that out today. My concern was a stiff ride on a torsion bar crank and was looking for options, but my truck shop gave good advice and it is scheduled for a level kit & alignment on Friday
TXST8tj... nice ride. thanks for the pics. Cost me $$ to see this, LOL
Did you have to use a coil compressor, I'm 16 and dont want to pay the 125 to get it installed..want to do it myself just don't know if i can do all of it. but posts like this sure help!

No need for a spring compressor. But you will need a 30mm socket (can rent from many local auto parts stores). Nothing to it. The write ups in this forum are exactly what you need to get through it!
Didn't sort throught the entire thread, but is this the same for an '09 and up? Im wanting to do the 2.5 kit on mine (if EGay even unlocks my account) and would like to takle this myself.
