leveling truck....

Im sure this has been answered before..but I couldnt find anything.

I have a 02 2wd, i want to level the truck out, but instead of lowering the rear to match the front, I would like to raise the front to match the rear!! Can anyone lead me in the right direction of what needs to be done? I have done lots of suspension work before--but mainly just lowering cars... Any help is appreciated. Thanks alot!

have you considered daystar coil spring spacers? those would give you enough lift to level it out.

well i havent tried them so hopefully someone who has them will post their opinions. basically its a polyurethane spacer that goes under (i think) the coil spring to give you some extra inches of lift in the front in order to level out the truck.

I installed a procomp polyurethane spacer on a Dodge 3500. It installed at the top of the coil(could be different with ford) but it leveled out that truck perfect and it took about 2 hours to do alone...wasn't that hard.
