Post Leveling Coils

I was wondering if i put those leveling coils from roughcountry on my 96 F150 4x2 would it raise the front end to the back end, or close? Does it replace the factory coil springs? Do i need to buy anything else to go with the leveling coil, or is that it? Any help would be appreciated thanks .

The coils are going to replace the factory ones. I'm not sure but for the new f150 changing just coils doesn't work great, so i take it the 96 is similar. In which case longer shocks are a must, and probably an a-arm kit, but thats normally all included in the lift systems.

Maybe you should consider putting 2 inch drop shackles on the rear? Unless you want that raised look that is what I suggest. They are cheaper and much eaiser to install.
Not sure, but I assume the 96 has leaf springs, inwhich case shackles would work. I'm sure it would handle better than with lift coils.
