So right now, I've got a 96 f150 2wd long bed that's pretty low on the front end. For sure it needs new shocks.. bounces like crazy and takes a good 10 seconds to settle down after pushing on a corner... My question is, while I'm in there anyways, I might as well replace the front coil springs at the same time and try to get my front atleast up a bit.
So from what I can tell after reading and researching leveling kits for my truck for the last couple months... changing the front coil spring is the only way to level it correct?
So does adding the heaver duty Moog springs lift the front end up a noticeable amount? I don't remember which one, but I wanna say the 824 or the 844?
Or is it better to get a set of actual leveling coils, such as the ranchos?
would the rancho lift it a substantial amount more, or would it not be worth the extra $$
And Second, I know I'd need an alignment afterwards... my trucks steering wheel is already turned about 25-30 degrees counter clockwise when the wheels are straight. All the leveling springs say you need either "near 0 degree shims" or need "oversized camber/caster shims"
Could Someone this part to me a bit more? How would I tell if I had near 0 degree shims? or is something you just replace automatically? and whether I need new bushings? or the shims? or what?

Thanks

 

camber bushings are done when the truck get an allignment. u cant tell how much its off without an allignment machine.

any springsu choose will gain lost height, but remember they will settle again a little. i would go with a bit taller and wait for them to settle. i know my rough country 2 1/2" springs settled about 3/4" in about a year. cant help ya with which ones to choose.
