Sup f150 dudes. New to the site and this is my first post. I just bought my third new f150, a 2009 XLT 4x4 yesterday, and i'm already to put a leveling kit on it. Just wondering rather to go with the 2.5inch or the 2inch. I measured the gap between the tire and the bottom of the fender well and it looks to me like there's a 2 and a half inch difference between the back and front. If any of you guys have already made this i application, i would appreciate some feedback. I read some of the stickys, but did'nt really get the info i'm looking for. Oh, and i would really like for the front and back to be even, but i would rather it dip a little in the front rather than be too high in the front. Thanx, I look forward to posting with you guys, and guys in the future. THE_CAPTN

 

I'm an idiot, trying to type while i'm eating, i meant you guys and gals!

 

I'm not sure about the lift info, but I know there are people who can help you. Welcome to the site. Make sure you vote for the XLT's in the 09 truck poll!

 

Welcome to the site and congrats on the new truck. I know what you mean about wanting the level kit - I got the Auto Spring 2.5" kit two days after I got the truck. Here is a pic of it, although it was almost dark:



Some have gone with the 2" kit - I was torn between the two, but I think it levels out nicely.

 

I went with a 2" on my 2009, the front end is at a perfect height. On my 2008 I did a 2.5" and always thought it looked higher in the front, drove me crazy.

 

Thanx for the info guys, i'll probably go with the 2" leveling kit from Pro Comp its on sale for 160.97 w/free shipping. Says you can fit a max of 35" 12.50's, thats huge, that's what i got on my 96 Bronco with 5 inches of lift and the fender wells are a bit crowded. I'll probably just go with 33" 12.50s on the existing 18" wheels. I don't plan on off roading my f150, so an AT should look good enough, that's the reason I built my Bronc, by the way thanks again guys.

 

I have a 2.5" and it is nose up. There is a pic in my album.

 

ibcop - your truck looks good. It is very level - but the front end appears to be slightly elevated to me. I would go with the 2" lift if you want somewhere between level and the front end slightly down.
