Leveling Kit and 33'' Rubber

My Grandpa just gave me his 92 d250. Its got a 4" stance. I want to level
it and get some respectable looking rims and 33" tires. Its got 31" tires; they just barely fit
under the front wheel wells. I haven't found a leving kit for this truck. Could y'all advise me on this situation?

So if I put the car quest springs on what kind of shocks would go good with them?

33's under a D250 2wd drive is gonna be tuff, or did you mean a 4wd W250? If you got a 4x4 then just stick a set of add-a-leafs under the front and you'll be good to go. Mine clears 33/15.5/16 micky's after a little fender modification.

I think hes talking 2wd here...

If so, they make coil springs that are like super hd or something and will bring the front end up.

I've got 33-12.50-16.5 under my d-250.I was cheap and put 3 packs of those screw in coil spring spacers until I have some extra money for the new springs.I still had to do a little fender mods and if i hit a bump just right when turning they will rub.Makes the truck look beefier though so I'm happy.

Its 2wd alright. and I noticed that the front fender wheel wells aren't as long as the rear, by about 2 inches. when I turn the wheel thers only 1/2 inch clearance, thats whith 31 inch tires. so for the 33s maby I a whole lift kit, which i cant find either. I don't want to lose my fender flares by widening the front wheel wells.

I was able to fit some 34.5" h2 wheels and tires on my D250 with removing the fender flares. There is some rubbing when you go lock to lock or full compression, besides that it's fine on a normal basis.

My first diesel was just like the one you have. And I had the same problem. I went with the super HD springs to bring it up and then put 33's under it. It looked great, but road super super rough. Especially for a 2wd.

Now that ive thought some, I figuer that I could just do a little body work to the front fender wells , widen the out so that I could put some rear fender flares on the front. that would give me the room for 33s

Don't be afraid of the modded fender well, I've cut a few.
