Hi,
My f150 seems to sit lower in the front. As seen here: http://carad.ebayimg.com/i5/02/a/000/79/8b/0dd7_4.JPG

Excuse the potentially stupid question, here but is that what the Leveling Kit 'levels'?

Here's one I saw for sale online.

Assuming this is the one to get, how tough it is to do this at home?

 

Yes sir.

Try looking on ebay.

 

Do a search on ebay for the Autospring kits. I picked mine up for I think $70 shipped to my door.

Here's the thread I used for the install.

I did it one afternoon pretty much by myself. It's not very difficult at all. Make sure you get an alignment once you put one on.

 

There are two types of leveling kits. Spacers, like you found, that raise the front and lowering shackles that lower the rear. You just need to decide what direction you want to go with your truck, street truck (lower the rear) or off road (raise the front).

 

Would not get the spacers like you linked. Installation is alot harder! Get the ones that bolt on to the existing strut!

 

yeah go with auto spring its not very hard to install but its a good project and they dont change the ride at all just make sure you get an alignment

 

Why cant we have a leveling kit sticky at the top of the page?

 

agreed ^^ but i know some one did a write up of the install which was helpful from what i remember. Not sure where it is anymore

 

Well, I guess this is the one since it specifically mentions 'front lift':

Or maybe this is better since it is a 2 1/2" lift?

that was the first thing i added.

after

 

its up too you which one you want. Alot of guys here have either of those and love em.

 

Joe,

Is your truck 2wd? If so, I would just get the 2" level kit unless you are going to raise the rear as well. I have a 2wd with the 2" Autospring and my fenders measure dead even from the ground. 2.5" will make your front end higher.

 

Thanks Dihlon, it is 2wd (and I was leaning to get the 2 1/2")......

 

hey guys. i have a 2004 regular cab 4x4. i was wondering if the 2 1/2 inch leveling kit would allow me to clear 285-70-17s. any help would be greatly appreciated!!

 

2" Autospring!
