Looking for advice on wether or not to install a rough country leveling kit.

I'm worried about excessive wear and tear on the suspension or anything else. Anyone have good or bad experiences with these? Also looking for a good cold air intake that doesn't Require a tune.

Thanks in advance!

Looking to do the same but I've heard from couple people on here not to bother doing a cold air intake because the stock is good enough. As far as leveling kit. I am going to get my done at my local ford dealership so I have a warranty.

You already have a true cold air intake system - it came with the truck free!

A leveling kit will look great, but cost you about 1-2mpg, headlights will be aimed too high, and wheelie time if you plan to tow something with a lot of tongue weight. This is all before you change out to bigger tires if so planned?

No real wear and tear - front halfshafts will be at a much greater angle, but they only turn in 4wd. They are disconnected in 2wd.

the roush intake doesn't require a tune, but don't really expect any gains- some engine noise sure- maybe it'll make u think yours going faster

Agree that we already have one, but disagre that it was free!

The level will not cost you 1-2 MPG but, the 35 inch mud tires may...

I installed a 1.5" level and 33" KO2s with less than .5mpg lost on my 5.0/4x4/3.31 truck. Speaking with mechanics at my local dealership, they said if you do less than 2" you probably won't damage the front end. I used the headlights as an excuse to buy the RAS kit for my back end, which pointed them back down to a reasonable level and improved handling quite a bit.

I went with the Auto Spring 1-1/2" front and 3/4" larger block in the rear to keep a little front rake. The fronts are offset so they help the half shaft angles and it's all steel and Made in USA.

Good point - funny but true!

Rough Country level kits are good, really hard to mess up a leveling kit unless its just too big or made with crappy material. I run the Rough Country 2.5" kit and have had zero issues.


Stock intake already is a CAI. I "upgraded" mine to K&N intake and the gains are negligible, its just really loud.
