okay some friends have been tellin me that i can turn up my tortion keys, and i dont kno anything about this. is it possible?
and how much does it cost?
and if someones got this done can you post some pics, i want some ideas..
thanks

 

You can do it yourself for no cost.
1. Lift your front end off the ground.
2. Look under your truck, there is a cross member that has two rods going into it, coming from your lower control arms (one on drivers side, one on passengers side). Those are your torsion bars.
3. There is a keyway that the torsion bar goes in thats located in the cross member with a bolt through it. Mark an index on the bolt or simply keep count of how many turns you make as you tighten each bolt. Make sure you turn each one the same amount to start. By doing this adds preload to your torsion bars and will essentially stiffen your suspension so your front end does not compress as much with weight on it. After several equal turns let the truck back down.
4. Take a measurement and see if each side (ground to fender) is the same height. If one is higer than the other, either let off the high side or tighten the low side.
5. Once equal GET AN ALIGNMENT

 

Your info says you have a 2006 F-150. The 04-10 F-150's do not have torsion bars so this isn't an option.
However, you can install a leveling kit like hundreds of 04-10 owners here. If you search there are several writeups and information on them.

 

Whoops did not see the year model. Yup you need a leveling kit, you can get a good one for around $80 and install yourself if you have basic mechanical knowledge.

 

yup ok i didnt think i had them but i was going to ask anyway. but yea im goin with a 3" level. what companies other than readylift have a 3" leveling kit?

 

2.5" is the max you should go, 3" puts mean angles on the suspension

 

x2, stay away from 3" level. I would go with either a 2" or 2.5" AutoSpring kit (powder coated).

 

I agree.
