just got my truck aligned after putting on the Heckethorn 2" leveling kit for 2WD F150's. I too did not have the adjustable cam bolts for the A-arms. cost me about $170 for the alignment and new bolts. but it had to be done as I just bought new Firestone Wilderness AT III LT265/75R16's. the tires really look good in the fenderwells.

I just bought a used '97 standard cab long bed. It has the tow package, but I feel it is to loose with all my equipement in it. I have had F-series trucks for years and this is the weakest suspension I have had of all of them. I like to mod the suspensions, and I noticed your post.
Did you notice a noticeable difference in the ride quality with these springs? For example, the front does not dip down?

I am looking to either put 2 inch coils up front with a helper spring in the rear, or go for broke and install a full system from Rancho or Fabtech.

Thanks for your reply in advance.
