Leveling Kit That Doesn't Require Cutting?
 
I'm looking to order a leveling kit today. The only one I know for a fact that doesn't require you to cut the studs on the top of the coilover is the ReadyLift.

I did a install of a 2" AS on 10 F150 and that required cutting. Does the BMF require cutting?

The ReadyLift of course is the most expensive one but ill have no issue with ordering it if its the only one that doesn't require cutting of the studs.

Only one I've heard of was a daystar kit. Actually cutting studs is not common.

I ended up ordering the ReadyLift this morning!

I actually never heard of this, I put a 2" AS leveling kit on the front of my 2011 and didn't cut anything.

Really? I have installed prolly 2-3 dozen leveling kits from toyotas to chevys to fords and the ReadyLift kit i installed on a friends 13 Platinum 2 weeks ago was the FIRST and ONLY one i have ever installed that didnt require me to cut a little off the top of the studs!

Yep, I installed an AS on my 05 Lariat and my 11 XLT, both 4x4. The 05 was cake, the 11 took some wrestling and a pry bar, but ended up popping into place. (Top end in first)

Bet the AS kit would have been 1/2 or less than the RL, but each to their own . I have a 2" AS never used I would have sold you for $55 shipped brand new, no cutting needed,

GL though!

Z7What Mar 11, 2013 01:18 PM

Damn! Oh well, it was 219 for the ReadyLift kit.

The 2" AS i did on a friends 2010 required me to cut the studs a little.

Ouch I think I paid around $75 shipped for the AS on my 11', but I didn't get the rear set, I think the whole package would of been around $200 like the ready lift. What really made it fun is as with everything else I do to my truck, it was -10 freaking degrees outside lol.

Wouldn't know why.

A little too little too late, but there is definitely no cutting with a set of bilstein 5100's.

I've never seen any cutting required on the spacer on strut type of leveling kit either and I've installed at least a dozen of them.

The next kit I install that requires cutting I will take pictures to show y'all what I'm talking about.
