i was wondering how hard installing new coils on the front and installing one of those add a leaf kits on the rear would be for me? will i need a coil compressor? can i do this with basic tools (jack, ratchet, screwdrivers, hammer, etc)? i've got a 98 F150 V6 2WD with the 8' bed. thanks for any replies

 

If I had to do it again I would forget the lift springs and go with a set of Daystar 1.5" spacers and a set of 3"spindles . Your ride will be almost as smooth as stock and cost about the same as a spring lift and you won't have to replace the upper control arms .
