Default Leveling Kit...Diff Drop??

I just bought my first F-150 (2007) I just traded a 2006 Tundra. I had many problems with a simple 3-1 levling kit on the Tundra. Al toytao leveling kits need a differential drop kit to prevent bad angles on the CV axels. None the less I had some bad angles on the Cv boots, which made them keep blowing. From my research on the Fords, I'm guessing that the F-150 leveling kits do not require a diff drop kit. Is that right?

I know there are many threads on lift and levling kits, I am looking for a simple leveling kit that privdes a true level truck not the front being higher than the rear.

Please help with suggestions, what do you have, what works, what doesn't work. What should I stay away from.

Thanks,
Nick

no leveling kits that i know of drop the diff. for your 07, a 2" leveler would still leave you with a slight rake.

I really want a completely level truck even if I have to install add-a-leafs or blocks at the rear. From what I have read 3" is too much and 2" will leave a slight rake.

I am still looking for kits that are commonly installed. What have you guys used?

Thanks in advance

2.5's are available and the closest to perfect you will get, most sit about .25" off at the most
