I want to level/lift my 07 f150 Kingranch 4x4. Is any particular spacer better than another? What is the difference between the metal ones vs. the poly?

I understand that a 2-2.5" spacer will level the truck. I would also like to add a leaf to the rear to bring it up 1.5. Is there a spacer that would keep the truck level if I do this or will I put it back to the stock rake?

Thanks in advance for any help.

 

since you didn't search lets do some deductive reasoning. if the largest leveling kit you can fit up front safely is 2.5" and you said that that levels it, then adding 1.5" to the rear will obviously raise the rear up making it un level. if you want another 1.5" up front go ahead and just buy a suspension lift.

 

Ok, good point. Its early, gimme a break. I should have phrased my question better. I was hoping for an answer that explained what I should do if I did put the leaf/or block in the rear to keep the truck level...

You said "safely", so Im assuming there is a way to get more out of the front without spending a lot on a costly lift kit, but it would comprimise the longevity of other suspension parts?

 

....

 

Thanks, so basically, dont get greedy and try to get too much lift without spending the money for a full kit or I'm gonna mess stuff up. Got it. Thanks.

 

Just get a 2 or 2.5 inch spacer. Autospring is highly recommended. Lots of members on here run their spacers. I have a 2 inch on my 06 and it sits level measured from top of tire to wheelwell. The general consensus is that a 2.5 inch kit for the 04-05 will level and a 2 inch for the 06-08. They have different leaf packs. If u get the 2.5 inch for your 07, u may ride a little nose high. Do you tow or haul things? If so that would cause it to squat. There are many different rear end options. Bigger block, add a leaf or air bags. U can fit up to 35s with just a level and properly backspaced wheels. Let me know if u have any other questions.

 

Good to know. Yeah, I went with the 2.5 autospring. I do tow a 21' mako every now and then. Do to the fact that I have an 07, should I replace the factory block with a bigger one, or stack? I would ultimately like to have a level truck with the 2.5" spacer. I guess some rake would be ok if there isn't a combination that can achieve this. thanks.

 

Since u tow, I personally would recommend air bags. My air lift set was under 200 shipped from autoanything.com. this allows u to run 5 psi, when not loaded which would make u sit level, then air them up to 50-80 psi when loaded and u will still be level. Here's a loaded and unloaded pic. Loaded is with wheeler, dirtbike and travel trailer.

Check my profile for more pics if interested. Click see all albums.

 

That looks good. I have never considered air b/c I thought it was expensive. For under 200, I will definitely look in to that. Easy to install?

 

Not bad at all. No cutting or welding and I don't have a ton of tools. I didn't even have a lift, just ramps so that I could fit under there better. I started a thread titled airbags at work, that has some tips in it. Took me about three hours, and had I known a couple things I found out along the way, would have taken about 1.5 hours. I am only relatively mechanically inclined. Ohh, and don't pay full price from autoanything.com. They have frequent sales and promotions. If u call to order just ask and they should help u out.

 

Ok, so the kit will not provide any lift though? This is strictly compensating for additional weight when towing, correct? I guess that would be ok if i was a little nose high. I like that look as well, just as long as I dont look like I'm about to scrape the ground when towing the boat.

 

it can provide lift if you want it to, that's the good thing about bags you can adjust them how ever you want.

 

Great, thanks for your help.

 

If u put 15 or 20 psi in them, without a load, it will provide a little lift as 250 said above. So if u are nose high after level install, u will be able to get it back to level. If interested I have an album title air bags and level that shows the rear height with differing amounts of air in the bags.

The one pic shows where I routed my lines in the cab by back seat rather than out by the license plate.

 

Checked it out...good stuff. The first pic...i'm assuming that is the switch to adjust the pressure. Nice and inconspicuous location.
