97Triton4.6,

I don't believe that Fabtech makes leveling springs for the standard cab truck, only 97-99 supercabs.

I have them on my '97. The ride is not bad at all. Make sure you get the alignment cams from Fabtech. If you just want to level it, the springs are what you need. But don't get bit by the lifting bug like I did. In a few months, I am going to put the Fabtech 3" spindles with 33" tires.

Some info!

I just called Fabtech because I wanted to go with the 3.5" spindles and the 2" coils, but the tech from fabtech said it is impossible to align the front end of the truck. In my mind I said "yeah right this guy just wants me to spend more money" but it's TRUE! I asked 2 guys from fabtech and 1 guy from 4x4 Land and they both said it wont align. If you want it to work you have to go with new upper control arms that are going to run you about $400 bills. The problem is that the spindles change the angle of the upper and lower control arms,thats why they recomend that you use cams with the spindles, but it's to much of an angle with spindles and coils. If you go with that setup anyways you are going to eat up the outer edge of your very expensive tires.
