Default Leveling Kit

I have an 08 F150 SuperCrew 4x4, and am wanting to put a leveling kit on it. I have the Warn Trans4mer and a Warn xd9000i winch (all total around 200 pounds). How much of a leveling kit should put on it to have it close to level? 2? 2.5?

I did a 2.5 lift and some 33s. Lifted my truck about 4 iches. I added 2.5 inch blocks in the back on top of oem blocks. My upper ball joints look stressed tho.

Just measure from the ground , up to the middle/centre of your wheel well on the front of your truck, then do the same for the rear . I got a 2010 Ford f150 and 2" leveled mine perfect , pretty happy with it.

Don't stack blocks in the rear. It's dangerous and just a matter of time before something lets go and you crash and possibly die.

just do lift spindles so you wont wear out your ball joints as fast with the coil spring or coil spring spacer

Those don't exist for 04+ trucks. Wish they did.

I've also never seen a 2.5" level add anywhere near 4" of lift. And if it did, I'd remove it immediately. That's way too much.

2" with all that weight up front would look good and leave you with a touch of rake. I personally like a wee bit of rake so you don't look like you're rocking some Cali lean/squat. Autospring is arguably the best company out there, IMO. 100% American made, small business, and quite inexpensive.

I'd go with a 2.5" since you'll have some extra weight up front, but 2" would be fine too. Just look at others rides to get an idea of what you want.

Before I post, just to let you guys know i'm a complete newb! LOL Be easy on me!

I'm wanting to do a leveling kit too, but don't want the back to sag.. How many inches are the stock rear blocks? I have a 11' Crew Cab FX4 EB. I've ordered some 305/55/20 Nitto Terras. Could someone do a 2.5 inch up front, and then run just a touch taller blocks in the rear? How do the rear blocks install? Thanks in advance for any replys!
