I'm new here so i will be posting pics. I own a 2 week old 2005 2wd f150 xlt scab. I just purchased a 2" leveling kit from Autospring Corp. I have not installed it yet any advise in relation to tires size, gear size, and etc. Also, I'm more worried about long term damage to the front suspension.

 

Have your front end alignment checked after installing your kit. I am very pleased with mine. It did not effect my ride quality at all and greatly improved the stance of my 05 FX4.

 

Oh yeah. A little hint from one newbie to another. Be careful about posting questions about aftermarket stuff in the OEM forum. I know it is real easy if you are new to the site to post in the wrong area. We have all been there and done that.

 

I'd suggest a 285/70-17 or 285/65-18 tire. Both are approximately a 33x11.50.

 

I don't know how it will affect long term suspension durability, but I just installed a 2.5" autospring leveling kit and noticed that the upper A-arm is contacting the coilover on suspension droop. It has rubbed off the paint/coating along a 1" section of the coil. It doesn't look like any damage to the coil itself has happened yet, but if you live in a rust prone area that may become an issue. I have heard of others having the same problem with leveling kits.
