Best Lift for 97 XLT 2wd

fox87trot · #1 05-26-2010, 05:08 AM

I have a 1997 XLT 2WD and am trying to find the best lift for the truck. I'm not sure if I'm looking for a lift as much as a way to level the front sag a bit. I've looked at leveling kits but most say for 1987-96. Would these still work on my truck? I'm thinking about swapping the 14 inch rims on my truck out for 16s to fit a slightly larger tire and am not sure what to do suspension wise. To be honest, I'm clueless and any help would be appreciated.

if your looking for leveling all I could find was springs....

i belive 97 is when they changed from a twin i beam frount suspension to a diffrent kind im not sure tho but if that is the case then i dont think the leveling kits for an 87-96 would work because its a completly diffrent suspension

they changed the suspension in 98 and its called a torsion bar suspension. it is very different. you should go bigger than just leveling though IMO
