NorcalVP 02-25-2002, 12:10 PM I know this is a newbie question, but a friend at work has a 2WD 2002 V6 F150 that looks like a stink bug driving down the freeway. (rear end way up in the air) and want's to level it out. i know most of you guys don't know or care about 2WD's, but maybe you could point me in the right direction... Thanks rpenner54 02-25-2002, 01:07 PM Crank up the torsion bars... That should give you an inch or two. Rubicrawler 02-25-2002, 01:34 PM Start by removing the second to the main leaf from the pack. It should drop a bit but he'll just have to play with the spring pack a little. Or- send him to one of those shops that specialize in lowering rigs. I wouldn't know where to start. Good luck! RadioFlyer91 02-25-2002, 03:38 PM I dont think that it would be a good idea to make the back lower. 1st- That just takes away from the bed capacaty and he wont be able to carry as much with out it bottoming out. 2nd- If your here then you are into off roading and just lowering it to make it look like the front will suck off road. I dont know to much about the new font ends but I think that they sell leveling kits for them? Are they still coil sprong up front? The newest one I have looked at up close was a 97 and I think it was coil sprong. If so might be able to put a little bigger coil and cahage the camber, but then again I dont know if it had coils or not.

Justin<>< yeah it's coils, I suggested taking a leaf out of the back, and he doesn't want to do that... Do you know where i can find more information on the leveling kits??? saf-t scissors 02-25-2002, 04:19 PM Originally posted by rpenner54 Crank up the torsion bars...

Except that the 2wd is coil-sprung in the front. welndmn 02-25-2002, 04:23 PM Then get the coil spring spacers they sell eveywhere, this will give you 1-2 inch lift And lowering would not affect the off-roading of it, i mean its still going to be a 2wd deadduck 02-28-2002, 08:25 PM One word, Fabtech. You can find their ad in any four wheel drive magazine, and they got their start lifting 2wd trucks.
