How do you tell if your truck is leveled or not.

I bought my 07 4x4 used this last october(09) and it is sitting on 20" rims and wrangler AT/S 275/65/R20s which I beleave makes them 34.07" tall. ( mesurements determined using app, "Tires" on iphone). My question is do I have a leveling type kit on my truck. I know I dont have the coil spacers, My dad has the hell bent steel 2.5" ones and you can see them, My coils appear to sit as if stock. My question is could a 07 F150 tuck 34s without a kit and no cutting? I want to run 35s but If I already have a kit then I can without a problem. thanks

Those tires are 34" tires. And if you can't see anything then it couldn't be leveled. It would either have a spacer or have either Bilstein or Rancho lift shocks.

You said you are running 20's, are the stock 20's? If so many people are running 35's with stock and I'm pretty sure without trimming..

Also depending what shocks you are running, some have a 0" - 2" setting.. I know bilsteins have them.. Look and see what brand you are running.. Also are you running stock coilovers?

They are aftermarket 20s, I think american racing fuel is the make and model.

Measure from the wheel well to the ground for both the front and the back wheel, then report back here.

Measure from the wheel well to the ground please.

I think stock your truck sat roughly 39" rear and 37" front.

There are some references in this link:
