leveling kit question.

i want to put a leveling kit on my 02 f150 2wd. it already has a 3" body lift and all the cables in the engine (battery cables etc.) are stretched out to the max. if i put on a leveling kit will i have to buy all new cables and stuff? also how hard is it to put on a leveling kit and what site has the cheapest ones? preesh.

No. Your cables, brake lines, etc will be fine. Try the Daystar spacers from Summit Racing, 4 Wheel Parts, Autoanything, etc.

is daystar a good brand to be running? i was a little skeptical as they were urethane and i thought they may sag over time, as a metal one would hold up longer. I bought it but really didn't know much about it

i dont know too much about that but jsut thinking about it, the urethane ones are going to give u a ride much closer to if not the same as stock.. with metal spacers itll (im assuming) make it ride a tad rougher.. and from what ive read alot of people run the daystar spacers

i hope so too, i'm so used to working on audi/vw suspensions and everything being so tight and compact together the instructions and DIY's on it look like its going to be a breeze (air tools and a a hoist might account for that too)

I had Daystar spacers for years on a Jeep with no problems at all.
