Need a few opinions..

So i just purchased an 02 f-150 fx4 supercrew, black. With a 4 inch suspension lift. I am buying some 20 rims and 35 inch tires this week. I was wondering what all my leveling kit options were for the front? And some good websites to buy stuff for my truck? like a bullbar, stepbars, headlights, you know just some exterior styling accessories.

Try autoanything.com.
Also, you don't need a leveling kit. THe front ride height of your truck is adjustable by increasing/decreasing the preload on your torsion bars.

wandell so if i crank up the torsion bars, will it put more stress or possibly damage anything on the front end? And will it make my tires bald faster? And thanks for the websites

Yes to the first question, but if you do it within reason it won't be anything that bad. Yes to the second question if you don't get it aligned after.

^ what he said.

a leveling kit is mainly for 04-08's that dont have torsion bars. cranking your torsion bars will basically be a leveling kit. do it enough just to level your truck out then get an alignment. cranking the bars is easy takes about 5 minutes. if you crank w/ in reason the pre-mature wear wont be noticeable. just make sure to get an alignment to keep your tires in good shape

An 18mm wrench. After you adjust them you need a front end alignment.
