09-12 Hell Bent Steel Billet 2" Leveling Kit $65 shipped.

Title says it all.

BNIB Hell Bent Steel 2" Leveling Kit. Includes everything just as it would come from HBS.

I bought this kit along with a BDS 2.5"/1" leveling kit and ended up using the BDS Kit... so the HBS kit is up for sale. It is $80 from HBS, I am selling this one for $65 shipped.

Why am I simply not returning it to HBS? HBS charges "up to 20%" restocking fee meaning I would get roughly $65 back from them. They are then just going to turn around and sell the same kit again for full price. If I sell it myself, I (hopefully) can still get roughly the same money back and pass the savings along to a fellow forum member.



If interested, please PM me.

Thanks,

John

Yes sir it is. HBS LINK

My old man has this same exact one on his '10. When the wife and I decided to buy our own F150, I ordered it up with out hesitation... as we were waiting on delivery of our truck, I got greedy and wanted the extra 1/2" and 1" bump for the rear so I ended up going with the BDS that I currently have instead.

Is it coated Aluminum? The reason I ask is because of the chemicals that some would use to clean tires/wheel wells. Just a bit worried that one could incur pitting on the aluminum....

Stupid question maybe but, I do clean my vehicles.... a lot.

From what I can tell there is no coating on the aluminum. It is just the raw machined finish.

If it matters, on my truck, the top of the strut mount covers and hides 99% of the spacer. I can't really see it at all, but if I jamb my finger between the mount and the strut I can feel the edge of it. So, if it is vanity you are worried about, I personally wouldn't worry. (I can snap a picture of what I am referring to if you would like me to.)

...I suppose one could spray it with Rustoleum to provide a protective layer.

I may have some interest if you still had the LK.. Haven't fully convinced myself I'd like to level the truck yet..

I swear the appearance package FX4's are more nose down than regular FX4's...but it's just an optical illusion thanks to the painted flares..

I couldn't decide between a 1.5" to retain some functionality when towing/loaded or a 2" and dealing with the results..
