I recently put new shocks and struts on my 2008 f150 Lariat and added 3.5 in spacers to level the front end of my truck, now the upper control arms are pushed down to almost touching the strut spring, Im not sure if it should be pushed down like this or not, do I need to change other components out, or could something else be wrong, because the truck seems to ride a little rougher then it did with the factory set that had 150000 miles on it. Thank you!

Your problem is a 3.5" spacer is way too big. The max you should use is 2.5". You will run into problems such as these with that big of a spacer.

Ypu need an actual lift to go that high. Like connorfx4 said, 2.5" is the limit - that what I have and I don't even like the angle of the control arms.

I didn't realize there even was a 3.5" leveling kit-there shouldn't be.

Unbelievable. My 2.5" level rides like ****, I can't even imagine how terrible that must be.
There must be some kind of warning that comes with these things, right?

Frankp

No warnings lol! According to the manufacturer of this junk, they are not supposed to change the factory ride, however you are right, it rides like ****! Hitting a bump on the paved highway feels as if it could bounce right off the rd.

Do you have a pic of the truck with the level installed? Im just dumbfounded here.
