Level kit

I have a 06 f150 Stx 2wd and I want to put a level on the front. Does anyone have a suggestion about what size to put on it? And what brand?

Some say if you go to a 2.5" level it can start to cause front end problems from the strain. It will install on a 4x4 or a 2x4. These aren't the best pics by any means but you get the idea. I'm no expert either so do your research!!!!!

I had a 2" HBS installed on my truck. It's a '10 model, but I'm sure not that much difference btw the components up front. Stay away from 3" you should be just fine with a 2" or 2.5".

3" puts your ball joints and cv axles (if 4wd) at a bad angle and cause pre mature wear and binding.
