I drive a 2004 FX4 Screw and have some plans for my Truck. I wanna slap on some nice 20's or 18's on some 35's. Now, what would be the best way of doing this suspension wise (leveling kit, lift, and etc)? I would prefer to stay away from a suspension lift bc I need some $$$ for audio upgrades. So i guess that leaves body kits and leveling kits. What you guys reccomend?

 

I'd go with a 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit. If you can install the body lift yourself, they are a great value. Unfortunately, shops charge a lot to install them because they take a lot of time to install.

 

whats the best place to buy that?

 

4wheelparts has good prices. when i got mine i went to a local 4x4 shop, they don't have a 4wheelparts in louisiana. i paid like 190 for the kit. i didn't get the gap gaurds tho. i think they are like 80 buck extra.

 

somebody told me that I wouldnt be able to 35's on with a leveling kit. True?

IF thats not true, than Should I go 33's or 35's?

The wheels I want is a very rugged, but yet very clean look. I really like the Moto 591's, but all the ones I see are 8 lug, however i see people with F150s with them on. How is this?

 

You can fit 35's with a leveling kit if you use the OEM wheels. If you go with a wider aftermarket wheel with different backspacing you will want to stay with 33's.

 

he's right on the tire sizes. 4 wheel parts does have alot of stuff, but i have noticed their prices are getting high. check out this place>>>> www.sportztrailers.com

or email this guy>>> sportztrailersjosh@comcast.net
His name is josh and tell him you are from f150online and he can help you out with prices and everything.

 

On a scale from 1-10, how hard is it to install a 2.5 inch Autospring leveling kit?

Also, how long should that take me?

 

alll depends on what comes with the leveling kit. some of them all it is is coil spring spacers...if that's the case about 30 minutes

 

On the Autospring kit you basically have to seperate the ball joint, unbolt the coilover, install the Autospring spacer on top of the coilover and bolt everything back together. Also, you have to get an alignment.

 

well, I was thinkin about gettin this (this is what someone reccomended):

Also, my 15k check-up is due soon (i have 13.5k) so I can get an alingment than.

 

Looks the same as the Autospring and the new Skyjacker leveling kit. They are all basically the same.

 

where do you buy the autospring kit?

 

A lot of people bought them on EBay also. I believe their website is www.autospringcorp.com or something like that. Also, Skyjacker just redesigned their leveling kit for your truck. It too is now the same as the one you posted and the Autospring. Like I said, they are all almost identical.
