Autofab is the only game in town in lifting a 2wd but there is more to it than just taller coils.

Re: 2wd bumpside front coil lift?
Beware on the spacers. Just adding spacers throws the old school twin i beams into a massive positive camber and caster situation. To lift and ibeam truck properly you need to extend the pivot brackets and the radius arm brackets to match how high you lift it. Autofab i you look has custom beams to get your alignment right with the lift. Spacers can be used safely if the are the better aluminum ones but you will need other components to get the alignment right.
Just another Ford fool named Dan.

thanks, good info,
what other components do i need to do it right with spacers?, i just want to get the truck level, lift the front maybe 2", maybe an inch higher than the rear and use 32" tires
