leveling kit

I cant seem to find any 2 or 3 inch leveling kits for my 2001 F150 because it is 2WD. All of the ones I have seen require the truck to be 4X4. Does anybody know any better websites?

Daystar makes 2 inch coilspring spacers for your truck. If you go taller than 2 inches (with a spring or spacer) you will have to have longer upper control arms to get the alignment withing specs. You could also instal 3 inch lift spindles.

Personal preference. THe spindles will increase your front track width. Personally, I'd combine the two. Bigger is better.

1.5 or 2.5 and you require control arms at 2.5.

Also, a lot of lift kits for 4x2's, including spindles, increase the front track width a couple of inches.
