Leveling kit make front end higher than back

tcf205 · #1 02-14-2010, 01:24 PM

Ive looked around but could find an answer for this, so if I get a 2.5" kit my truck will sit a few cm higher up front than the back if my measurements are correct. What are the negative effects of this and should i just get a 2" or is it not too big of a deal if the front sits a little higher? (2005 Lariat 4x2 screw)

No negatives other than most people don't like the look. You can either get the 2" kit or the 2.5" kit and an AAL to lift the back up so your lifting all around.

alright i ordered a hellbent steel 2.5" kit then ill put some 33's on it within a few months to replace my 31" nitto grapplers which were on when i bought it

def good idea. like the jake said, if you go with 2.5 (which i see you did) add an aal or 1.5 block. i did and now my rear has a very small rake still. but thats what i like. throw that kit on and drive a few miles. then decide if you want anything for the back.

alright thanks for the info and does anyone happen to have a picture of the front being a little higher than the back?

haha i dont think it will be that noticeable, i'm going to be the only one who notices it probably

thejake1989 · #9 02-15-2010, 04:43 PM

nah. youll be fine for a while and if once you get it you dont like it the AAL will solve it all. mine looks slightly nose high in this pic

this is right after leveled. i have not put the 1.5 blocks in yet in this picture. it is pretty leveled but in my opinion its 1" too high in front so i added the blocks. some like it exactly leveled. its all opinion. the tires are 32".

btw, my driveway also slopes downward, look at the grass in the pic. on a level street its more noticeable.

im running the 2.5 HBS kit with 33in nittos and im only 2wd...love the look, truck sits pretty perfectly even, if you want it higher in the front go with the 3in kit.

im going to be eventually running your exact setup, looking to get some flat black wheels and throw on some 33's. my truck is white and i love the look of the "stormtrooped" f150s

I had the same problem with my 3" level kit. I installed a 1.5" AAL in the back and leveled out everything perfect. Was slightly higher in back for a couple of weeks as it needed some drive time to adjust. Truck is now perfectly level.

Here's before:
