Default 2in auto spring leveling kit installed today

As the title says I got my leveling kit installed today. I love it its like a new truck. Now I just have to save up for some new tires. My truck is a 2007 screw with 35% tint and ventshades. [

Today I noticed that the driver side rear is sitting lower than the front. I don't know if the shock is jut getting week or if it's because there is 3/4 of a tank of gas in it. It is sitting almost an inch lower.

How long did it take to install? And how bad did it suck? I'm thinking of installing. My own 3" kit.

Ive done two leveling kits on an 05 and 07 and both took me about 1.5, very easy and not too hard

You need a 21mm socket or wrench for the upper ball joint, tie rod end, and sway bar end. Upper 3 strut nuts use a 15mm socket or wrench. Lower strut bolt is a 30mm socket and a 1 1/16 wrench or just an adjustable wrench. Presto! Bolt on the leveling kit onto the strut, flip the strut 180 degrees (or just figure out the only way it will go back in..haha). Might need a crowbar to move down the Upper control arm so you can get the lower strut bolt back in...Re bolt everything back up and go get an alignment...Not too bad.

I put my 2.5" level on and then I installed my 6" lift myself with a buddy a year later. I most recently added a 1.5" AS level to my lift so I have done the above mentioned process a few times..haha. Good luck! There are plenty of write ups on here and F150online and if you have questions.
