Show pics of your 04-08 with Leveling kit

I am looking for pictures of 04 - 08's with just a leveling kit and 33" or 35" tires. Please post your pictures and tell us what brand and size kit and what brand tires and wheels you have. I have a 2" AL leveling kit but want to see trucks that have tires and wheels with the kit. I am not sure that I want to put a lift on my truck if I can make it look good with just adding tires and wheels.


2" AL leveling kit, Extang bed cover, 20% tinted windows, Ventvisors

I have a 2.5" Auto Spring, with 325/60/18 (which figures to a 33X13) Nitto Terra Grapplers on 18X9 Helo Maxx 6 wheels with 5.5" of backspacing. Here are a couple pics, if you want more just click on "My F150's" in my sig.

Hey Guy's ... Some nice Truck's and the level Kit's look just right.

I prefer a slight Rake, Can you get a 1.5" AS kit? Or do you have to add at the rear?

2in will give most 4x4 trucks a slight rake.

Mine's a 2008 and never had done a day's work in it's life.

The front sit's alot lower than the rear.

a 2in should be perfect for your truck but if you want a little more rake, i think auto spring does make a 1.5in leveling kit if you dont want to get a larger block or aal for the rear.

I know that you use to be able to get a 1.5" kit from AutoSpring, just google them to see if they say on their website or give them a call. I also prefer a slight rake, but I also wanted as much lift as possible so thats the reason that I went with the 2.5" kit, then I installed a pair of Firestone Ride-Rite air bags in the rear. With about 20 psi there is about 1" of rake and the ride is not affected very much. Otherwise if you did go with a bigger kit and wanted to get rake back you can get either a AAL which will raise the rear but also stiffen the ride up or Auto Spring makes blocks that go under the rear and raise it 1.5".

i would do the 2in on that truck. you will keep some rake, it will be a little easier on the ball joints, you wont have to mess with the rear, you would be able to clear 35s if you chose to do so, and its cheap and easy.
