2.5 level kit and 35's....no problem!
 
I'm reading a bunch of people saying it cant be done unless you cut ALOT but that's not true. I have 18x10 Moto metal wheels with a 4.5" back spacing and just a 2.5" level kit. I'm running 35/12.50/18 Federal MT's and ONLY had to trim the lower front valance a 1/4 inch. That's it. :beers:

Looks good man, I like the 09+ FX4 logo, I changed all my badges to the 09+'s and was going to do that but my steps have to 04-08 FX4 cut into them so I didn't change it... but the truck looks great!

Turn into a ditch and see if anything happens. It may not for you. If it doesnt awesome. Looks good though. Im still on the fence about the federals. How do you like them?

westtnfx4 02-17-2011 10:04 AM

Thanks.....Yes I've turned into several ditches.....no problem. Also I'm loving the Federals :D

Nice truck.

Checked out your forum, looks good. I see you posted your truck on the main page NICE. However there was a Chevy add right at the top (Google ads) - motor trend truck of the year WTF. :beers:

i need some advice man. i wanna put a leveling kit on my 08 f150. but im not sure if i need a 2" or 2 1/2" kit. im not a huge fan of the front end sitting slightly higher than the back

Big_Smokey 02-17-2011 05:00 PM

If it does, just change out your rear block. its simple and i fairly inexpensive

philly164 02-17-2011 05:09 PM

I went with a 2" AS and got 2 1/2" out of it. :fyi: I still have a little bit of rake, which is what I wanted.

Measure from the ground to the center of your wheel wells and you will be pretty close.

mattp868 02-17-2011 05:15 PM

so would you recommend gettin a 2 1/2" leveling kit? i hardly know anything about trucks. i just know what looks good, i dont know the details it takes to make it happen
