Leveling Kit for 2001

hey I need help. I just bought my F150 at the beginning of the summer. I wanna start work on it with a leveling kit but I can't find a single leveling kit anywhere for my 2001 Fx4 F150. All the ones I see are the adjustable ones that I dont think I should trust. Any information about a leveling kit non-adjustable or alternatives would be great. I saw in an earlier thread about an 05 leveling kit which included the alternative "Bilstein 5100 spring seat adjustable shocks" mentioned by truckskills.

You have a torsion bar suspension so you already have your "leveling kit" just turn them up a couple inches.

Right. The ride height on your truck is adjustable by increasing the preload on your torsion bars. That is why you don't see leveling kits for your truck. The 04-07 F-150's have a different suspension with coilover shocks.

hey thanks
read both of your inputs and went and found an online manual on how to do it properly, truck looks much better with the ballanced stance.
