im not too familiar with ford, but the chevy's have a front swaybay you can crank up to level the front out.

Fords do not have torsion bars like chevy...They use a strut which has a coil spring...Those spacers will work by themselves, I've used a form of them on my truck, which is a Chevy but the new ones have coilovers instead of the torsion bars...

Torsion bar. Not all Chevrolets have them...mainly on 4x4's.

my dodge has torsion bars vice springs, I cranked them up a bit to level it, but you need to re-align the front end or you'll eat the front tires quick
