Default 09 Zone lift and leveling rake.

I just bought a used 09 f150 that has a Zone 6" lift installed. I noticed that the truck is still about an inch lower in the front. I was just wondering if a leveling kit can be used with the Zone lift to level the truck out.

Get some taller struts. You don't want to stack spacers on top of each other!

So get the struts and a 1" spacer.

Take the inch out of the rear and add a set of air bags. It should level nicely.

I have the same lift with 2" front spacers and it sits level... Ball joint angles don't look bad at all.

Camburg or Icon dynamics are quality pieces as far as control arm.

For coilovers King Coilovers or Fox.
Www.Filthymotorsports.com they build them to order. A pair for the front with remote reservoir will cost you about 800 bucks. This is your basic coilovers with remote reservoir. You can add options and price goes up. Check out the website you can build them to order and see the price it will cost you. You will want to go with a least a 2.5 coilovers for the front and 2.0 for the rear will be fine.. You can run 2.5 in the rear cost you more.
For off-roading and city driving 2.5 for the front and 2.0 in the rear is a good combo.
If your a serious off road going Baja style might think about 3.0 coilovers .
