New to the forums here!


So I recently bought a brand new 2016 F-150. I had the dealership go through their preferred aftermarket shop for all the add on's. I had a 3" lift kit installed but the truck still has a forward cant or rake to it. I was told by the shop that the truck would sit level. Is that standard? I see a lot of trucks around that appear to be more level then mine. Just want to check here before I go back and ask the guy whats up.

Need a bigger spacer in front to level out ,

Is that something they should have done when installed?

No. A lift will raise both front and rear. Unless you did a 5/3 (5 front/3 rear) it will still be lower in front.

Typically a lift kit will lift the front more than the rear so the truck sits level, or close to it.

Do you know what type/brand lift was used? A 3" is probably a spacer just a spacer in the front (which is more than typically recommended, unless something has changed with the new generation) and a block/AAL in the rear to make it level. If you were told it would be level and you want it level, then I would take it back. They'll need to measure the front and rear wheel well height and reduce the rear block size by the difference. (I.E. if the rear is 1" higher than the front, replace the rear block with a 1" one)

not a fan of the fender flares, but the wheel/tire and stance look good to me, IMO.

Take a pic of the top of the front coil and a pic of where the leaf spring mounts to the axle.

Here are the pics of the front and rear. It would be better to raise the front then lower the back. I have a slight rub up front

i have my XLT 2014 f150... 2wd

wish is the best lift kit configuration to:
get a better high and look and the preservation of the stability and the drive feeling?

3 in front and 1.5 rear??
3 and 3?

You don't have a lift kit.. that is a leveling kit with rear blocks added.. which look too big.
