I have looked alot but today a guy said I should buy a block for the back for additional $200. That would leave me At 600 for alliment and parts and labor. Do yal just get it off eBay?

What labor?? Super easy install and idk why you would buy a 200 block. Thy can be had much cheaper especially for a 2" one. My 5" blocks cost me around 115 from the local offroad shop

Dont use a block on the back, unless your going to lift it significantly IMO. Lift springs for $50 will raise you about 1" to put it about 0.5" higher in the rear

I haven't been able to find a good cost around here. Planet pickup wants 400 for leveling kit and installed.

Jake- how much did that rhino line cost you?

I have a 2" level kit from AutoSpring. You can order directly off their website instead of ebay.

I wish I knew some ppl in San Antonio. I'm looking into getting a leveling kit and he said on 2wd your back end will be lower if you don't put a lift on back.

The price is crazyy

the person your talking to is dumb. you can level it without adding to the back but most like to go high up front and add out back to get even more lift from the level but its not needed

driving to cs and having me do it would be cheaper than that even haha

BlackFord,

I live in San Antonio. I haven't installed an entire leveling kit, but I have lowered the back of my brother's 08 F150 with shackles. I'd be happy to help.
