Default Ford F-150 lower than normal?

Alright, before any jokes I just want to say I don't know a whole lot about trucks so take it easy on me. I bought my 2007 Ford F-150 about 1 1/2 years ago, it had a leveling kit put on before I got it. It sat pretty high (for what they said was a leveling kit). A few months ago I thought It was lower then when I got it. I shrugged it off thinking I was just getting used to the height. But then a few friends commented saying it looked shorter than before. I got in it tonight and I am.) about 100% its lower then when I got it. Also when I haul anything in the bed (and even sometimes without hauling anything) I hear this weird whining sound when I am going below 5mph. (not sure related to the height problem) but Im sure its NOT coming from the motor because it doesnt get louder when I accelerate. Just when the tires are moving slowly. Any ideas on either of the two? I appreciate any advise!

Maybe your tires are old and have less tread?
Otherwise looks great!


For future reference measure between the tire and fender height above, make a note of it, stick note in glove box so net time you have that 'sinking' feeling. . . . you can just re-measure and confirm!

heh heh!
