Ok guys so I'm debating on the leveling kit I want to get. I own an 08 f150 4x4 and want to either put a 2in or 2.5 in leveling kit. I plan on putting some bigger tires nothing to big though. I do use the truck for work and the roads I drive thru are mainly caliche roads so they are kinda rough. My question is which one should I go with. Also will I have any problems by installing a leveling kit as in will I need longer brake lines or anything like that? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

You can fit 35's with a tiny bit of rubbing (because they're wider then your stock tires) but not much.

The difference between 2.5 and 2 is minimal, I had a 2.5 inch rough country with 35's on my truck. There was no need for longer anything. Here's a pic

If I go with a 2.5 will my ball joints wear out faster since I drive thru rough roads?

Yup.

Everything will because you're changing all the angles of your front suspension. A true suspension lift will keep your stock ride and stock angles as well.

Honestly though, for 33's you could clear them with like an inch body lift no problem lol. I had 33's on my truck with no level at first, I just turned up the t-bars to level. A 33/10.50/whatever rim size you have will be narrow enough to clear but tall enough to look good.

I bought Moog parts with the warranty and when they wore out, I just replaced them for free and put most of them in myself so it wasn't a big deal.
