Leveling kit questions
I have a 1999 F-150 2WD, I wanna change the stance of it a little bit more for new wheels and tires, i have currently installed a PA Body lift. Who has the best leveling kit for my truck? I looked at the PA Kit and the Daystar Kit , but the guy at 4wheelparts said id have to buy taller springs. What the point in buying the lift spacers if i get a taller spring?
Next:
What is the biggest wheel and tire combo i can get after i level it out. I really want ether KMC Rockstars , KMC Monsters, or the new KMC Armour all in a 20" wheel. but then when it comes to tires im lost.
This will all be for show the only time i ever go off road is when i go fishing or hunting and other than thjat it stays on the street.
Thanks, BOOMER

You were given some misinformation. You can add 2 inch Daystar coilspring spacers to your current setup. However, if you were to combine them and 2 inch lift springs you wouldn't be able to get the alignment within specs without going to longer upper control arms.
With a 3 inch body lift and a 2 inch leveling kit you will be able to fit 33x12.50 tires on a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing with some minor trimming of the front bumper's lower valance.

Thanks wandell
so I wouldn't need taller springs with the daystar?
and could i install it my self? or do i need to pay someone to do it?
Then where can i get tire and wheel packages?
One more kinda off topic question : can i put different shocks on the rear for a better ride and which ones do i need to look at?

Basically you have to remove the coilsprings and reinstall them with the Daystar spacers. This can be dangerous if you are not careful. Then you will need an alignment.
As for wheel/tires, check out Tire Rack as they are a sponsor here.
And shocks, just about anything is an improvement over the OEM shocks.
