....hey fellas! Haven't been here for a LONG while, but I'm back, and I hope you all are well.

Here's my quandary. I did a search for "level kit", "leveling kit", "level", and "leveling", and didn't get a clear-cut answer to my question. I figure it'll be easier/quicker to just ask anyways. I have a 1998 F-150 4x4 extended cab short bed, and I want to install a leveling kit. It LOOKS like it's as simple as taking off the wheels, expanding the springs, and inserting the locks. Is it? What do I need to know before hand? What tools will I need?

I'm a complete newbie when it comes to suspension issues, so any help is appreciated in advance.

 

....I just realized I posted this in the wrong place! Sheesh...it's like I'm a newbie again!

I'll copy and paste it in the right place....mods, feel free to delete this one.

 

I'm no expert but, just from what i've read on here; you can't put on a level kit on your model truck. You do have torsion bars that can be cranked to give you some added lift though.

 

Gotcha. Thanks Dihlon! I'm in the process of trying to figure out how the heck I go about doing that and what special tools I need to do it.
