Default Need some advice!!!

I recently got a 2007 F150 XLT 4X4 and am looking to level it. I would buy a lift but I'm a highschool student so I don't really have a couple thousand or so to blow on a nice suspension lift. However,I think it would look good to level and maybe put some bigger tires on.

I found a Rough Country 2.5" strut extension for $100 but I've heard mixed reviews on RC products (mostly 4-6" lifts, but still) and I would appreciate any other recommendations. I'd say 400 is about as much as I would like to go, but I'm new to this so I realize it may take more to get good quality. Thanks y'all!

I bought the Hell Bent Steel 2.5" level for $70 and installed it myself. Here it is leveled.



And here it is with 33.4x12.8x18 terra grapplers.

Default level kits

Simply amazing how much better these trucks look leveled. Amazing what a couple of inches will do to the whole look...

Go on ebay and buy the cheapest one I think it's around $40
All your buying is a 1.5" spacer kinda pointless to buy the $100 or $200 spacer that is actually the same thing. The one I used doesn't require you to turn the strut 180' it is billet aluminum and comes with bolt extenders. Ran it for 3 years on my 2004 and will be installing one on my 2013 next week

The strut extension is the long leel that comes with the lift kit. You need the level... 2.5" should do you fine..
