Installing level kit??

Hey guys, ordered a 2 inch daystar level kit for my 03 f150 4x2 and was wondering the difficulty of installing it myself? I dont know if i want to pay for installation of that too on top of buying the km2s im getting put on this week too. Thanks for any insight/directions.

I believe these are the ones that you need to compress the spring to install. I did it for my son's 97 2wd and it was not too hard, as long as you have the spring compressor

Up on a jack and just put the coil spacer on top of the spring?

I'm thinking about doing the same thing to my 03 2WD plus adding 2" blocks in the back as well. How much was the kit? Did you just buy the spacers?

yeah i just bought the spacers, i kind of like the squat itll have in the back without the blocks. I paid 135 total for the 2 inch ones. Shipping and all, should be in at the end of this week and ill have pics up of that on and my 285 km2s early next week if you wanna wait till i get mine to see.

Ya looking forward to it! My problem is I really want to get the fabtech 7.5" lift but not sure that I can afford to before at least another year. Sad thing is I need some new tires soon!

Yeah I wanted the same 7.5 fabtech. Likewise to you, I don't have the proper funding for that! Lol yeah I'm gettin those new bfg mud terrains so hopefully that'll look good. Should be done next week early at the latest
