I bought a 2.5" daystar leveling kit for my 05 f150 4x4, will i have to replace my front shocks to use the leveling kitt?

 

No bc the leveling kit should sit on top of your factory strut assembly. So your good

 

If you have over 30-40k on your shocks, you might want to think about replacing them while you have the front apart. It is due. Same for the rear. You will be amazed at the difference.

 

while u have the front end apart i would
i did when i put my level in

 

30 to 40 thousand miles?
im at 90k on original shocks and i beat the heck outa mine offroading, loading the bed down with mulch, and towing a boat. im gonna go ahead and say that i should probably start looking around for a new set.

 

Yes you should. Unfortunately it is not that easy to tell when the shocks are bad unless you really carry loads. The springs are heavy enough that it is not that easy to determine. However, once you change them you will wonder why you did do it sooner as there will be a big difference.

 

Yah I would replace them while its apart

 

take them out, i bet they fall apart.
