I just bought a 2.5" pro comp leveling kit for my 2006 ford f150 I was just wondering what tools are required to install the leveling kit and how long does it take . If i decide to get it installed by a garage how much does it cost and where should I go I live in durham nc
Thanks everyone

Nothing out of the ordinary besides a 1 and 1/16" end wrench and a 30 mm deep socket. I believe it's 30 mm.

Yes, the bottom strut nut is a 30 mm deep socket. Then your regular socket set will do. Pry bar. Jack. Second set of hands is helpful. I think I needed a 27 mm socket too. But other than that, just an assortment of regular hand tools.

floor jack helps...

You can look at the following instructions to give you an idea of what it takes to install

Leveling kit instructions

When I did mine it took common tools and 3 hours. The first side always takes longer approx 2 hours and second was done in about an hour.

If you're mechanically inclined and have the tools I'd suggest doing it yourself.

I did mine in a little under an hour....mine's a Rough Country 2"...granted, I have access to a 2 post lift, and I've done several levels and lifts....the most helpful, is a big *** prybar and an extra set of hands to get your upper ball joint back in the A arm.

I used a heavy duty ratchet strap to get my upper ball joint back in. Worked flawlessly lol

I just replaced my CV shaft and used a combo of the floor jack, vice grips, C-clamp and speaker wire to get my upper ball joint back in haha. Work with what you got haha. It actually worked pretty good.

Like everyone says the sockets for the bottom strut bolts are usually the only out of the ordinary thing that I didn't have. My sets only went up to 21mm

Second set of hands isn't a bad idea especially when you are trying to bolt the ball joints back up.
