And I'm sitting 1/2" higher in the front ..... bought from their ebay store based on research here and their description:

Not so, 2010 FX4.
I've measured from the wheel well lip to the ground, from the wheel well lip to the center of the hub, makes no difference, 1/2" higher in the front. It was installed and aligned at a local shop ($250).

Bummer!

I don't want to lift the back as I'm going to run the stock tires till they fall off, but I guess if I could add 1/2" I would. It's already tall for the tire/wheel size (20")

Any suggestions?

 

Wait let the truck settle before doing anything. But I would have recommened 1"1/2 level kit from the start.

 

Wait for it to settle as well plus you can always buy the rear blocks if need be.

 

I can relate to your pain. I've wanted to "level" my truck for a while but there's nothing IMHO that looks worse than a truck that sits higher in the front. I'm afraid to make the move for just this reason. Well, that and I tow with mine and can't imagine that would be good, lol. I'd prefer the factory rake over higher in the front. Hopefully as was said above your truck settles down and it's perfect. Sorry!

 

Have any pictures? I put the 2" in my 2010 Fx4 Screw and although I haven't measured yet it looks pretty close to dead level.

^^ Based on your pic's, Looks to me that it is slightly higher in front.

I've started to come to the conclusion that the majority of F-150's need no more then a 1.5" AS to be the closest to actually being level. 2" seems to make the front end too high but people just don't realize/notice it. I too, after all the research and such, fell for the 2" talk. Ended up having to purchase a 1.5" kit. And I'm STILL high in the front.

 

You need to focus on the gap .... the front measures 1/2" higher.
It's not THAT bad, but it's sure not level.

 

Why would it settle, it's a steel spacer in there ?

 

Getting my Bilstein 5100's on tomorrow. Gonna go with the 1.5" setting. My wheel wells are exactly that much different front to rear so am hoping the 1.5" lift well be just right. Will try to post some pics and results tomorrow night if I get the truck back in time.

 

I may be mistaken but I'm pretty sure the Bilstein 5100's don't have a 1.5" setting. Unless they are different for the 09's+ , they go 0", 1", 2" .

Okie, yea clearly looks taller in the front. Sorry man, been there done that aswell. Only thing I'd suggest is going with a 1.5" and calling it a day. I was in the same boat as you in the fact I did NOT want to raise the rear either. Great lookin truck otherwise though.

 

Mine was a touch higher with the 1.5 so I put the block in the rear. I guess the block was not drilled square because the rear end is 1/2? off to the right now and there is no slack to move it over. I'd like a 3/4" spacer. Due to the arm geometry you get more lift than the spacer measures.

 

Ive researched these leveling kits for months now. Like others have said the only AS kit that actually levels the truck is the 1.5. The rest of them make the truck sit higher in the front. I ended up purchasing the Hell Bent Steel 2 inch kit. Although I havent installed it yet I have seen plenty of pics and it gives a very similiar stance to the 1.5 AS kit.

 

Dude, easy, cheap, quick fix. 2" Lift shackles will give you back your rake. I put in 2.5" leveling kit and was higher in the front. Shackles in the back, and im back at about a 0.5" rake

 

I have the AS 1.5" and I sit a touch higher in the front.

 

Air bag or Superspring will raise rear end if thats what you want.

I agree nothing looks worse than front being higher.... Well except for a 07+ Silverado!
