I have a 2008 F-150 FX4 and I want a leveling kit thats bigger than 2.5 that also has the rear shocks or absorders or w/e haha. I dont know what brand to go with of which one will look the best please give me some suggestions and pictures if you have any.

 

You dont want to go anything over 2.5 inches trust me. You will put way too much stress on your ball joints, tie rods, and etc. Just go with a 2.5 and either aal or blocks for the rear if you need them. If you really want to upgrade shocks then go with bilsteins. They will give you a better ride. Also Autospring seems to be a good product around here. Ive had mine for over 3 yrs and no problems yet with it.

 

go with a 2.5" autospring and 3" block

 

are you saying the 2.5 for the front and 3 blacks for the rear? I know nothing about suspension haha sorry

 

Yep, do the Autospring 2.5 up front, and the 3'' block in the back. I have the 2.5 in the front, and went with lift shackles out back, gave me what I wanted.

 

antoher thing is that my truck has 56k miles on it is that too much to put a leveling kit or lift kit in?

 

on you will be fine, on my old 05 i put a leveling kit on at 70,000 miles then at 90,000 miles i put a full suspension lift. Just maybe check your ball joints when you have the truck apart

 

so what 3" blocks should I get for the back I was also looking at the Rancho Schocks because mine need to be replaced are they anygood?

 

In case it hasn't been stated 32 time already....Don't get anything over a 2.5" spacer for the front. And run either a block or AAL for the rear to even it out.

 

Ok, I am also thinking of doing this. However, I have a related question.

I'm clear: no more than 2.5" leveling kit in the front. AND run a add-a-leaf or spring-block in the rear.

To be honest, I'd probably go the Bilstein or Rancho route for the leveling shocks.

HOWEVER, here is my question:

When adding a leaf to the rear, or when adding a spring-block to the rear, do we ALSO change out the rear shocks to adjust for the new length of travel?
