Leveling Kit?????

I have a 2012 Ford F150 4x4 and I want to level it. However, I have been reading alot about the problems of a leveling kit with the EAPS. Should I be concerned with this or is it not a big problem? Any input will be appreciated.

I put a rough country 2 1/2 on mine with no problems at all. No need for a re alignment either.

That's definitely a rare case, and I wouldn't recommend NOT getting an alignment afterward.

Don't worry..the alignment was checked afterwards and there was no need for one.

That's weird, usually you need the toe adjusted but the caster/camber is ok.

Yes, strange indeed. I did a 1.5" and needed an alignment. There was noticeable positive camber after the install and could tell right away on the drive to the shop.

hummm, after putting the 1" daystar on my 4x4 it gave exactly a 1" boost. I still want a little more lift. I am thinking of taking off the 1' spacer and going with a 2" spacer and 2" blocks in the back. Sorry, I don't have pics available.
