99 leveling kit

I have a 1999 F150 4x4 and stock. Im interested in a 2in leveling kit or similar, would i have to get coils around the shocks as well, and what about the rear of the truck, what to do to get that even or lifted as well.

you can't level these trucks without extensive custom mods, or you can do a body lift or suspension lift.

not really but you ask stupid questions you're getting a stupid answer.

do a search, questions been asked daily.

I think with a 4x4 he can crank the torsion bars to level out the front and get rid of the rake

All you have to do is crank up the preload on your torsion bars and get the front end aligned. Stay away from the "leveling kits" for our trucks. They are just reindexed torsion bar keys that will allow you to put way, way too much preload on the torsion bars which will destroy your ride quality and cause premature wear on your front end. No need to pay money for a product that allows you to do something that is free.

NO!!! What part of don't get the keys are you guys not getting? If you still aren't level then a previous owner must of put an add a leaf or bigger block on your truck at sometime. Just take out the rear towing block if you want to be level.

You must have that copied where you can paste it whenever, because i swear every post about leveling keys your response is exactly the same. haha
I don't blame you though since there seems to be 10 new posts on keys every day.
