How can I best level @ 1.75 and retain factory ride?

Another leveling question, how can I best level @ 1.75 and retain the factory ride?

I don't plan to off road except the occasional dirt road or trail for hunting. I had Billstein 5100's on my F-150 and they were ok, but just a little on the stiff side. Will spacers do what I want or how about 6112's?

 

A Bilstein would be better than spacers.

 

Why not improve the ride???
Falcons if you would prefer a little bit of added height and an absolutely amazing ride on and off-road?

 

I'm confused. Are you already at 1.75 lift or are you asking how to level? 1.75 in the front won't level you, you'll want at least 2" from stock height. What is your budget? I have coachbuilder shims in the front and gained about 1.5 and don't feel any issues with the ride. But an adjustable shock is always the better option. Do you have additional weight up front? (Bumper, winch, light bars) these will affect recommendations too. Are you wanting to change the rears too or no?

 

I am wanting add 1.75 so I will still have a little rake as I now have 2.25 between the front and back. I am stock and no addtl. weight up front and I am not wanting to do the back right now.

 

If you are wanting to do this on a budget, I put on the coachbuilder shims to gain 1" but I'm currently sitting 1.5" higher they are less than 100 new. Otherwise I'd at least recommend the 6112s from Bilstein, they tent to get better reviews at that ride height compared to the 5100s. The other options will cost more and if you don't have additional weight, not off reading, and not wanting to do the rear. I don't think they are needed.

My 2 cents. Good luck

 

Without getting into a pissing contest or right vs wrong way to raise your front end. Below would be the bare minimum to achieve what you’re looking for.

I’ve installed this kit on my neighbors tundra and he has been very happy with it! Just keep your expectations in check (no bombing through the washes) and they’ll serve you just fine.

On my 2002 AC (new to me), I replaced the OEM shocks with Bilsteins in the back and Eibach adjustables up front, set at the middle setting. This left a bit of rake and road handling was unchanged. Bumps, however, now get soaked up easily and smoothly. It's a good combination.

 

Go with 6112s at 1.9"
