Default Leveling Kits For 05 Crew cab

I am a new truck owner and was thinking of getting a Hellbent Steel 2.5" leveling kit for the front. Does any one know if this is a good kit, good size, any cutting or just bolts involed, or any thing else that would help? Thanks

I know a few people who use HBS leveling kits. They like them. It didn’t change the factory ride. They just bolt on top of the front strut. If you do it yourself, it will take a few hours, so block out an afternoon. You can pick up a pair for around $70.

I just put a 2.5 on my 2007 f150 this morning and it took about 1 hr for both sides. I got mine at top gun customs and it also bolts to the top of the shock tower. Just make sure you get it aligned when you are finished. Very easy to do. We were able to do both sides at the same time. All you need is a few tools and some cold beer. Good luck

I agree with everyone here $69 is a good price and the kit is nice. The tools I needed were almost more expensive than the actual kit. 27mm wrench

i recently put that same kit on my truck. i love it and it looks great. i waited about a week after i got it put on to have it aligned to make sure that everything was good and settled in. it doesnt affect the ride any. from what i understand, we should be able to fit 35's
