Default Advice on a leveling kit for my 06

Need to know what the best leveling kit for the price to put on my 2006 f150 that is a four door extended can with a 5.4 triton motor that will not effect on how the truck drives. Any suggestions?

Most leveling kits will effect your ride slightly but as long as you stay under 3 inches it won't be Terrible

How does a leveling kit effect the truck? Yeah I'm not looking for no big fancy lift, just a leveling kit to even the truck out. I just bought the truck and the front is lower than the back so I'm just looking to level it out and the best choice of a leveling kit to use that wont hardly effect my truck.

35 inch is the biggest you can go. It wont be so much the leveling kit that will affect the ride as much as the bigger tires that you put on it

Okay good. 35's are a little too big but i do wanna go a little bigger. So as long as it ain't a big difference in the drive I'm okay

Yeah big as I'd go is 33's. How much of a difference in gas mileage did it make on yours?

get an alignment to and make sure you look at the camber and caster angles before and after as well as toe or those big *** expensive tires will get worn quickly and ride like crap.
