In the past I have leveled my trucks with the simple leveling block. I realized (especially after my mechanic showed me) that this is horrible for the truck. It puts a lot of things (especially on a 4WD) at weird angles.

I have a 2014 F-150 4WD and I am thinking I would like to level (or maybe do a 3"-4" lift) it down the road. It may be a while before I do anything to this truck, but in the mean time I am doing my research.

So...what is the best possible way to level a truck? I would rather spend a few thousand to do things properly than to spend $100 for a leveling block.

P.S. I have been reading about this issue on several different forums and it seems that leveling kits in general are tough on a front end. Sounds like a true suspension lift is a better way to go?

Something like this seems like a good way to go: http://iconvehicledynamics.com/shop/...m-stage-1.html

 

Any leveling kit even those Icons will put added stress on the front end. usually if you stay at 2.5" or less of lift in the front there won't be as great of stress as let's say you go with a 3.5" level.
The 2014s I believe only need 2" to bring them to level.
But the best way to get any lift and level is going to be an actual suspension lift. Everything that goes into those kits allows your front suspension to stay in/at good angles to prevent excessive wear.

 

Exactly, if ur just looking for a quick and easy leveling kit, stay at 2" ,any higher and ur front end will wear out very quickly, 2" is ok. Of course the best way to go is a full suspension lift, but that's a lot more $$$. A daystar or pro comp kit is only around $100 not including installation and alignment.

 

Thanks guys. I think if I do anything in the future it will probably be an actual lift (although it would be a small 3" - 4" lift).
