2wd or 4wd?

Ain't got one for sale but if its a straight axle I would highly recommend a reverse shackle kit. Sky makes em. It will ride dramatically better and put the shackles where they should be plus giving you 3-5" of lift in front.

I've owned and can appreciate both brands. I will say I've had less problems with chevy and they run like scalded apes. My Ford was a beautiful truck and a head turner, but ya can't compare a 7.3 to a Duramax.  My 7.3 was great, I made it run. But its more of a work truck motor by nature.

So you have the little blk/grey Powerstroke V8 badge up near the headlight?

That is an excellent year of 7.3, still has the bulletproof forged rods of the 1st gens with bigger injectors, factory intercooler and fast spoiling 1.00 exhaust side turbine housing with a wastegate. Even though the last generations had six bolt main caps, they're still powdered metal rods..

From what I understand about the 2wd 99-02 f250 is that they are a b!tch and a half the balance and align on anything other than stock or a 6" lift. My dad has an 01 7.3 and hates how low the front is but it's a work truck so he doesn't want to go up to 6". We've talked to a couple people about it and they all said the same thing.
FYI
