Need info for leveling

I am looking to level my 2002 King Ranch supercrew. Everyone keeps telling me to jack the torsion bars, I don't have torsion bars. I was looking to put the bilstein 5100, they don't make em for 02. Is it possible since everyone else has torsion bars on there 02 they put the coil overs from another model on the King Ranch? If so it is possible that I may beable to get the Level option for that model. Anyone who can give me knowledgable advice on this problem would be greatly appreciated...

Is your truck a 2wd then it wouldn't have torsion bars? Maybe everyone is assuming it is a 4wd.

Trail Master makes a 2" coil spring spacer for the 2wd.

I put the 2" Autosprings and mine sat to high in the front called them up and they sent me 1.5" put them on and think it looks good with about a 1/2" of rake.

Kdw68 has an 07 F-150. Your 2002 truck is completely different with an entirely different suspension system.

So what exactly does that mean for me? Just curious.....Leaning more towards a 4" lift......But still would like to know.

it mean that the leveling kits for our trucks are 1" 1.5" or 2" leveling coils. its nothing to worry about.
have you looked at the fabtech 7.5" kit? 4wheelparts sells it for around 1000 but its not on the website

I'm just pointing out that what works, fits, levels a 2007 truck has about as much to do with your truck as what works for a 3/4 ton Dodge. You are on the right track with the Daystar spacers.
