F**k sakes ford. Just went to have my level installed. The parts had to be specially ordered for what I wanted (2.5" front level- rough country, 2" rear block- pro comp) when I picked it up I inspected it under the wheel wells because it looked lower than I expected. Turns out they never even ordered my parts ( which I had waited 3 weeks for and taken time off work to have it done) they ended up installing a 2" front level by rev tec ( who the F is that? ) and they didn't even touch the rear. NOT impressed. Not to
Mention the rims and tires i ordered were not there yet (even though I was assured they would only take 3-5 days to get) not sure whats next. I do not want to have to take another couple days off and make the 4.5 hour trip to the shop :/ didn't think ordering parts or picking up the phonr was that difficult? Anyways just a rant from another unsatisfied customer.

I'm seriously stuck I want to get a leveling kit for my Platinum I just bought but cant decide between The rough country kit and the auto spring kit. they both look the closest to level IMHO. My question is why does the RC have the rear shocks with the kit? Is there a reason for that? And are the shocks any good?
I went with a Hell Bent Steel 2" level (also based on comments and pics on this board), and with just the front leveling kit, I was absolutely perfectly level. Hell Bent Steel is inexpensive, machine made with high quality, and ships fast. I think I paid $90 shipped and had it in two or three days.
I added 2" blocks in the back because I wanted a slight rake for when I tow, but if you want perfectly level, I have no problem recommending HBS.

Looks nice! I never buy black trucks any more, but I must admit I get a little jealous and a little buyer's remorse when I see a clean black truck with nice mods. Black looks so good, but mine were always dirty and scratched up far too quickly.

Quick question
Rough Country makes good gear, but their prices are higher for basically the same parts as other manufacturers. If what you want is perfectly level, you don't need shocks or blocks. Based on posts from on this forum, AS runs a little higher than advertised, meaning that many with a 2" AS say they are nose high, and those with a 1.5" AS say they are perfectly level.

I got 2" of lift with my 2" AS. My truck had more rake than most (2.5") when it was stock and after the 2" AS I still have .5" of rake. I wanted a slight rake and got the results I was looking for.

I doubt aluminum would fail, but I've seen a poly spacer fail.
