2.5 leveling kit?

How much is it to install it or is it easy to install yourself.

You should be able to do it. I've never worked on IFS and I pulled off a coilover swap.

This should help---->https://www.f150online.com/forums/sh...ng+kit+install

i wouldn't pay for it to get installed. I did it myself the first side took an hr and a half second side took maybe 30 min if that. really easy.

get there recommended tools, and an air impact helps GREATLY. It isn't hard to do. Be safe and support the truck well.

You can do it and it can be done with hand-tools, a floor jack, and jack stands in your driveway.

Pipe-wrench... It can be done! I rented the 30MM socket from AZ the 2nd time...

My point was you don't need a air compressor, impact wrech, nice lift, etc... Just some hand-tools, floor-jack, and jack stands.

i completely agree with djh1121 it can be done with hand tools. I know for that 30 mm i slid an old pipe down the the wrench for more leverage, no problem. I guess in a sense i had a pipe wrench

I think I'll just use my bay on Saturday, lift my truck, use my air tools... and save my muscles from the torture of doing suspension work by hand...

2.5 front and rear going in...
