Default Leveling kit size for 2010 F150 XLT 2WD

Hello,

I want to install a leveling kit for my 2010 F150 XLT 2WD to get rid of the raking but I am not sure if I should install 2.5" or 2"? I just want to level the truck. I am afraid if I install the 2.5" that the front would be higher than the rear?
Also, is it okay to install the leveling kit on a 2WD? any other parts I have to change if I install leveling kits? I am looking at Rough Country 2.5" leveling kit. Is that good or is there any other better and cheap option?
BTW, i am planning to install myself as I read it is easy.

Thank you!

I have the same truck but 4wd. I'm not sure about the 2wd part of the question but I put a 2" kit on mine based on the advice of the kit manufacturer. I was told that 2" makes it level and 2.5" would make the front end sit slightly higher. My truck sits level with the 2" kit

Thanks Cardfanbob! I will go with the 2" then. what kind of leveling kit did you use? and did you put it in yourself? can you post some pics?

Thanks!

My kit was an Auto Spring I think. I put it on with a gear head buddy of mine. It wasn't terribly complicated. We did it in 3-4 hours. I would post a picture if I could figure out how. I just put some 33" Falken Wildpeak A/T tires on it and it looks pretty good

Do you have pics of the wild peaks? How do you like them?

AutoSpring looks like a great choice because of the offset it has. placing an order for my truck now... Thanks!

I keep trying but I'm getting an error message when I try to post pics. I've been getting a lot of complements since I put them on. Working on upgrading the sound system now.
