OK all i want to do is make my truck look more like an off road machine... i will not be off roading too much if any but here are the questions...
I have heard that 2.5" is all that you should lift without hurting the truck so if this isnt the best 2.5" kit what would be? With 2.5" of lift will i be able to run 33's on my stock rims with no rubbing problems? Do these leveling kits with 33 in tires hurt road performance very significantly? Any help would be appreciated.
i am not too sure but wandell would give you the best answer but these questions have been answered numerous times in other threads just do a quick search and should find your answer in no time
My opinion is that most leveling kits are just a piece of metal. It's a very, very simple product to make and I think it would be pretty hard to make a bad one. The only real difference I see is price. I know the Autospring sells for around $80 but I've seen others that sell for around $200 and they are the same thing.

That it along with the Autospring will just make the ride slightly rougher in front, wear the ball joints faster ( over a period of time ) and 2.5" it may sit higher than the rear.
Look into Bilstein leveling struts if you are willing to spend about $150.
I bought the hellbent steel leveling kit (2.5) and its a good quality product. I notice no ride change and they took less than 3 hrs to install. Plus they are on sale right now on thier website for like $60. They are real good with customer service too, i have called a few times and always gotten a call right back.
Well ... I used Rough Country 2.5". Have had it in there for 3 years. Not wearing the tires, ride quality has not changed. Didn't even align the truck when finished. Truck sits level and i'm in the woods every weekend.

I have a 2005 ford f150, and also wanted to get the off road look, but not off road to much. I went with a leveling kit 2.5 and have 20inch rims on some 33x20x12.50, and it looks awesome. i would highly reccomend that bro.
thanks for the help guys i am getting the project started this week.... im geting new exhaust, tint, and lift and tires hope all turns out well... should look good
