Perhaps some of you Ford experts can give me some advise...
I've got a 2000 F150 and want to increase the load capacity to better handle a camper and gear. With the goal of K.I.S.S. I don't want to use airbags. This is not a serious mudder or rock crawler, but more a overland traveler with reasonable offroad capability.
So my ideas are to install progressive helper springs and maybe those things that look like airbags but are solid rubber and I'm guessing they act more like oversize bump stops...
For the front- I'm not a big fan of the torsion bars after my experience with Nissan fwd's, but what I've read on internet scuttlebut , the 2000 models are pretty reliable. But I'm thinking to install level lift keys and I wonder if they make a coil over set up for the front.
Anyone care to chime in with their experience/knowledge?
