Bilstein 5100's would be a better idea than stacking spacers.

you can set it up to raise the front up 2" inches, there are quite a few members with them that use them to level out the truck

The Bilstien shocks feature adjustable spring prload to lift the truck up to 2 inches. Another example of 4Wheel Parts employees showing their intelligence.

topguncustomz.com is a goodplace to get them. i beleive just go to shock absorbers and replacement shocks, find the F-150 click on bilstein and they should have the adjustables there think its like 350 for all 4. but im not too sure.

for what your buddy is gonna spend on the bilsteins if he already plans on coilovers, he is just wasting his money and should go ahead and get the coilovers instead of even considering the bilsteins

Adjustables are good, but coilovers are even better. Fox Racing makes great coilovers.

They must be expensive if pimphor has his hands on them Make sure to upgrade your UCA's if you do stack or do coil overs
