I don't know how high you want to go but, you might try to find some washers that go under the spring holder.
They fit over the lower retaining bolt and then the spring goes back on. Weld 3 or 4 together. Should net about an inch. Other wise you be better off just buying some 2 inch lift coils from your local supplier for the F150 4x4.

Good luck,

Yes, but the 2WD's have coils. If they are the same diameter as F150 4x4's is another question.

i just installed the rancho leveling kit on my 96 f150 2wd. rides a little more harsh but doesn't feel mushy anymore. sits nice and level and will likely fit 32x11.5 although i'll prolly stick with the 31's for powers sake.
