| I just bought a 99 F-150 2 wheel drive. It seems too low on the ground when compared to 4 wheel drive models. What would I need to do and approximatly what would it cost me to have it raised up comparable to a 4X4. I love the truck otherwise as I have already added several accessories that I like (chrome rocker panels, bed cover, bug shield, etc.). I just think it would look much sharper raised. What could I expect to spend if I took the truck in to a shop to have it raised. What is your recommendation? Thanks! Van |

If you want the rear to have a highr ride hight you should be able to buy a extra leaf kit. I bought a pair for my ranger and it helped it when i loaded it down it didnt "sink down" nearly as bad, it also makes it look like it is sitting up higher. just a seggestion.

I would suggest a 2wd lift kit. A simple spindle lift for your truck would lift the front around 3-4" inches and the rear about 2-3" inches depending on how you wanted it to look. Try looking at http://www.performancelifts.com or http://www.camburg.com for 2wd Ford lift kits.

I would reccomend that you simply put a lift on it and i think a 2or 3 inch is around 500.00 or so.

We purchased a 2002 diesel powerstroke 4x4 in August of 2002. The first week we drove it, the engine literally cut off when coasting onto the off ramp of I95 in VA. When we took it back to the dealership, they said no code, keep driving it, but replaced the sensor anyhow. It repeated the cutting off again in Sept. Took it back again. No code. It has done this 4 times since then. 3 of those times, it cut off completely (does not matter whether your foot is giving gas or not), then you hear it rev and restart. It is at a different dealership, no code. I am at a loss as what to do. Has anyone ever heard of this problem happening? I don't really want to go to arbitration, but the original dealership is less than cordial to me when I go there. They basically say too bad, keep driving it until we get a code. Thanks in advance. |
