Leveling Kit Results

Ok i am scheduled to have my tuff country 2" leveling kit today for my 2006 F150 FX4. I am not in the market for new tires becuase the tires on the truck have plenty of life lieft on them. I wanted do know how people think the truck will look if i put the 2" leveling kit on and keep my 275/65/18 tires on. I dont know if anyone has pics or experience with this but i could really use the help.

I have the same thing because I just can't part with good tires. It looks fine but I think the tires look just a tad on the small side. But other then that I have no complaints.

I might have some pics this weekend. It looks different, but not bad. You won't care once you see your truck sitting higher. It reminds me of how a dodge sits stock.

Should look something like this:



This isn't a tuff country lift... it's Bilstein 5100's but the effect is the same.

In fact, mine has the factory 20" rims so the tires shown here are a little smaller than the OEM 18" ones (31.9" vs. 32.1")

I bagged the back end, becuase I'm often at or above my load limit, but the bags made the factory rake even worse, so I leveled the front as well.

I won't put on bigger tires because I haul and tow with this truck.

There's more pics in my profile.

it should look fine. you have like 32" inch tires. but when you do replace them, id go 33" or maybe 35".

Attached is the link to pics of my truck before and after installation of a Skyjacker 2" leveling kit. I have the 18" OE tires/wheels still. I couldn't part with the good tires, either. I like the look. Once these tires wear out, I plan on replacing with bigger ones (keeping the OE wheels).
