2.5 or 2in levelling kit?

Just picked up my 2015, just wondering what kit would level my truck out; between a autospring 2" or a 2.5 rough country. Any info would greatly be appreciated..

169 views and no suggestions? lol.. Someone must have a front levelling kit in there 15 by now. I had a 2" autospring front kit in my 05, just wondering if the 15 is a different beast.. Would the 2" level it perfect or the 2.5...

I suggest waiting till your warranty is out before doing this mod. It will kill your warranty.

Not sure about your dealer but my dealer has no issues with levelling kits. I recently traded in my 2013 Tacoma sport that had a 4" lift and oversized tires put on by the dealer, my 2005 FX4 also had a levelling kit put in by my dealer, no warranty issues.

This is how the warranty reads:


Damage Caused by Alteration or Modification
The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by:
alterations or modifications of the vehicle, including the body, chassis, or
components, after the vehicle leaves the control of Ford Motor Company
tampering with the vehicle, tampering with the emissions systems or
with the other parts that affect these systems (for example, but not
limited to exhaust and intake systems)
the installation or use of a non-Ford Motor Company part (other than
a certified emissions part) or any part (Ford or non-Ford) designed
for off-road use only installed after the vehicle leaves the control of
Ford Motor Company, if the installed part fails or causes a Ford part
to fail. Examples include, but are not limited to lift kits, oversized
tires, roll bars, cellular phones, alarm systems, automatic starting
systems and performance-enhancing powertrain components or
software and performance ‘‘chips’’


If nothing breaks after you do your mod, you won't have any issues. However, if something does break, you might be in trouble.

Johnnymac did you ever install the leveling kit? I'm looking at doing either the 1.5" or 2" from Autospring on my 2WD.

I would do the 2.25" ready lift, from what I have read anything over that is putting a lot of stress on these new 2015s.

I bought a 2015 f150 fx4 last week and had dealer install a 2 inch level kit for me. They gave me a written guarantee it would not void my factory warranty. The rear end sits exactly .5 inch higher than the front now. But you can't tell unless you measure it. I would do the 2.5 inch if you want perfect level. On a 4 wheel drive anyway.
