How we installed a Rough Country suspension lift kit on a 1992 Ford F150. Watch "F150 Rough Country 4" to 6" Lift Kit Conversion 1992 Bronco" to see the front of the kit get changed to the 6" lift to level the truck.

The rear of the truck normally is higher in the back for weight carrying purposes , other wise with a load it be very low in the back. And the head lights be blinding on coming traffic.

Just did this kit. I opted to leave the sway bar off...no noticeable difference in handling. I have yet to install the stabilizer. Thinking about fabricating a stronger bracket & then just welding it to the frame. That is a crazy type of mount they give you.

Thanks for this comment. I just came on here cause I didn't even know these trucks had swaybars. I just installed the leveling springs on the front of mine and I don't even have that mounting bracket for a swaybar on my 92 4wd f150. Guess I won't worry about it if there isn't a noticeable difference

Airbags probably lifted the front a bit so the original mesurement maybe off. Also depending on the oem real block it could be a 1.5" if it was swaped from a f250. Or 2.5" if from a f350. So probably 4" lift on stock un inflated front coils and f150 oem rear block

Your supposed to put 6" in the front too level the truck and compensate for the rear end sticking up from the factory for hauling purposes

I'll take your misspelling of "supposed" as an emphasis on the word and counter with the fact that what you said only applies to original suspension equipped from the manufacturer. The big difference is this here leveling kit does exactly what it sounds like it does. Drumroll please . . . The leveling kit levels the vehicle. They either have extra blocks in the rear leaf spring mix that shouldn't be there or where they mounted the beams on new drop brackets at 4" they should have been mounted at the 6" position
