2.5" Leveling Kit

I'm about to put a leveling kit on my 2004 ford f150 4X4. Not sure what kind of kit I should go with. I found this one on eBay and just wondering if anyone has it or knows anything about them. If anyone has recommendations as to which leveling kit they prefer please let me know. I want something that will be durable and not cause any problems later on down the road. Also, when I install the leveling kit I will put on bigger tires, I want to go with 35X12.50X17. My concern is when I go with a tire of this size will I need to put spacers and if so what size should I go with? I will keep the factor rims on for now.

I recommend AutoSpring. That's what I went with.

www.autospringcorp.com


35's might work on stock wheels, but I would go with 33's instead. That way, you could go with aftermarket wheels later.

I have a pair sitting in my garage. 2.5" they are made my Springtech. Let me know if you want em. Bolts are included but not shown in the pics.

(Update: They are now gone.)

Don't mean to hijack the thread, but how goofy would my 07 supercrew look with a 2" kit without upgrading tire size for a while?

It really would not look that bad. I have a 2.5" kit on mine with stock tires at the moment. Check my gallery for more pics. I plan on getting larger tires just as soon as I can.

Me and my dad both have that same level kit. Im very happy with it. Everyone screams autospring, but they both do the same thing.

I bought a set of these 2.5" TopGunCustomz levelers....work just as good as AS 2.5" Good product and good company to deal with.

The AS 2.5 is also on ebay as well....same price and both are good products.

see EBAY Item number: 130159280297

I, with no knowledge on these newer Fords, just picked up an AS 2.5 kit. Deciding factors were, made of steel so won't wear like aluminum and should be firmer than urethane. But what really caught my eye is that the top and bottom plates are staggered so there should be no spring contact with anything through out it's travel. Since I live in the frozen north country I will be off road now and then so the equipment has got to work. Alan
