Lift or level

Hey, currently I have an 96 150 2wd I want to lift or level and need some opinions. I was thinking maybe a coil spacer, add a leaf, and new keys. Or maybe a spindle drop.

depends on what you want, leveling kit will fit 33" but if you want bigger tires, you will need a suspension lift, which gives you much more ground clearance. I have a supercrew 4*4 lifted and it works good for off-road

I have a 2x4 and want to just make it look better, what does a spindle lift cost and do. I know a coil spacer is about 100.

The whole suspension lift can be pretty expensive depending on which one you pick. I think procomp is around $1,400 with the spacers, $2,200 with the coilover, rancho and fabtech ranged in the $1,800-2,000. Install, depends on who but the rate is usually 60-80/hour.

total cost for my truck including the winch and the transformer kit, new rims, tires, procomp 6", skid plate, and skid plate was around $6,000.

it was worth it, in your case, you can do the leveling kit, would be alright even though the lift kit from procomp looks pretty cool for the 2*4
