In need of an Upgrade

I have a 2001 2WD Regular Cab F150 Sport edition. The rear shocks are completely dead and it's time to replace the front shocks anyways. I figured that I would go ahead and level out the truck at the same time.

Any advice and recommendations for products would be greatly welcomed.

Start saving up for a full suspension lift! You say you want to level it now, but shortly after you'll want to go higher. Trust me, it's happened to all of us! haha

For a level I'd recommend either a daystar 1.5" leveling kit or 2" leveling springs from Rough Country or Canuck Motorsports.

I'd go with a 3" spindle lift and 1" or 2" rear block. You can buy a kit that includes new shocks and solve all your problems at once.

Won't lift you high by any means, but enough to make a good difference in looks.

Also don't forget when doing the install there's a chance the balljoints and outer tie rods will be damaged and if they have a lot of miles on them 70K+ it's probably time for them to be done anyways.
