Default Re: Front end lift.

I have added leafs to all my ford trucks. I start with the small ones and add an in between length as I go up. These 'in between' size leafs are made from extra springs I have a pile of. I just keep the center bolt hole and chop them off on each side. I seek out those with a good arc. Then it's a nice new center bolt and usually longer shackles. I never understood all this lowering. All my fords have longitudinal springs though.
