Factory Leveling Kit

[Vic Roma]

Was there a factory leveling kit? I think I saw something in the MPC, but I’m not sure.

David found this awhile back:

They have a photo of the TSB 96-23-16 in the listing.

That's the only thing I've seen beyond the different size blocks that came dependent upon the truck config.

Thanks, Scott.

MPC says that’s a (leaf) spring kit for F250/350:



My Bronco has coils in the front.

In any case, a better search on a laptop instead of a phone found it:

That's neat. Never knew there was an air leveling kit from the factory.

So looks like the spring takes care of F250/350 4wd's and the Leveler Kit covers the rest. Makes sense.

Not the right gen/decade/models but posting anyways:

It looks similar to this kit by Air Lift:

Does anyone have the factory ones, either 2 or 4 WD?

The MPC shows a different part for 2WD and 4WD, and taking a guess, I’d say the difference is how the kit secures to the top and bottom of the spring.  

Any other ideas on the difference between the two kits?

Just spit balling, but the front coils are longer on a 4x4 then they are on a 4x2
