Default New truck owner from Shreveport, LA

Hello!

Bought my first ever truck last month.

I've owned everything from a 1987 Honda Accord to a 2009 Pontiac G8 GT to a 2004 Nissan Xterra and this 2015 F150 is the first truck.

Here it is the day I bought it









Very base model XLT Super Crew with the 5.0. But got a great deal on it so I'm slowly making upgrades.



I've added 18" sport wheels and running boards so far:











2" RC Leveling kit and tow hitch are being installed tomorrow!
And I'd like to install a backup camera somewhere down the road.

Where are you getting your Leveling kit/alignment installed? How much if you don't mind me asking?

Louisiana Truck Outfitters on E. Texas. I'm buying the parts from them, which are like $100, total for parts and install is $440 I think. I JUST dropped the truck off. I'm also getting them to install a hitch I already bought and wire up the trailer wiring. They're charging me $520 for everything.

Which I think is fair. Other quotes were in the $400 range just for labor.

Looks great. I think I will be going to the same shop to get mine done. That seems like a good price to include the alignment as well.

Yeah I'm happy with the work they did. I actually needed an alignment as the truck was pulling slightly to the right, drives straight as an arrow now.

They actually charged $99 for the alignment, which means they only charged about $250 for the labor on the level.
