1995 150 Leveling
1995 150 Leveling
I have a 1995 f150 4x4 that i would like leveled out. I am looking to go with the Moog CC844 springs. Are there any other kits or anything i should consider other than these? I want the truck to have less body roll when turning, and from what i have read, these can do it while leveling it. I was going to put new shocks on too. The truck sits with the wheels leaning in at the top, so im thinking these coils will fix that too, will they? Here are some pictures:
Heres just a general picture of the truck:

Heres a picture of how much it leans/sags in the front, only like 2 inches:

Heres a picture of how much the front tires tilt in. its not as much as it is sitting on cement. My driveway has a little dip that it was sitting in when i took the picture:

Yeah, it does need one, but i figure i should just do it after i get it leveled out(should be within this month). The upper ball joints looked pretty good, the lowers werent that bad, but will probably need to be done within the next year. The only things i found really "bad" with the front suspension was the U-Joints and the Radius arm bushings. They are going to need replacing. If i do all of this i am going to wait and do it all at once. And yes, the coolant thing was found. It was an internal leak in the radiator that was leaking small bits of trans fluid into the coolant, and the other problems where caused but a bad lower intake gasket, which i will be fixing when it gets really bad, cause i just cant afford to do all of it now. But, hey, what do you expect from a $1400 michigan truck?

Heck yeah, it was a nice truck. The 2wd is what made me have to get rid of it, didnt do so good in the muddy fields at work.

It was a nice color.
So do you guys think that the camber will be really off if i do 1.5" of lift in the front? I mean, the tires do lean in at the top quite a bit, and usualy the coils make the tires tilt out at the top when the alignment is all straight. So, it being off now should make the alignment a little better when i put the new coils in? or am i just making myself sound dumb? I hope you all understand what im getting at, im not to good at explaining what i am thinking. What i am trying to avoid is a $300 alignment.

Yeah, i knew i would need one. Im just worried about the shop needing to order some extreme bushing. I guess we will just see what i do it. I bought my Monroe shocks earlier today. cant wait to have a truck that doesnt bounce.
Okay, does anyone have any recommendations on adjustable camber bushings?
Would these work?

The moog springs are like $105 and i can get them right at the o' reilly down the street. I already got those picked out, i just gotta get the camber thing sorted out.
So, i went outside and jacked up the truck from the frame, first 1.5" then 2.5", to see what it would look like. I think it looks good. The 1.5" actually fixed the alignment.
1.5" side view:

1.5" Front tire. It corrected the off camber almost 100%. Still leaned in a little bit.

2.5" Side:

2.5" Font tire. Camber is corrected 100% with this:

I think the camber should be good with 2", which is what i am going for.
