Price for front end suspension lift to level fx4
What is the general price range for a front end lift to level the truck out in front of an 2002 fx4. Also, how is the best way to do that.
Thanks Shane

Put 1000 lbs in the back and drive around on some bumpy roads.
If you periodically load the truck down on trips, the rear springs will wear in/settle after a while. In a few years, the rear could be lower than the front.
On my 99 4x4 I put on set of roadmaster active suspension springs on the rear leafs. They are fully pre loaded and keep the rear 0.75" higher than the front when empty. But I do have a fiberglass cap on the bed all the time. I was also able to level the truck left to right (.25"), just by tweaking the roadmaster springs. The handling with and without a load is great now.
A truck with a sagging rear looks alot worse than a truck with the bed a inch higher than the front. JMHO
