I own a 2006 F150 4x4 lariat. I was wanting to put a leveling kit on it. and cant decide on weather to put a 2" or 2 1/2" kit. Ive been told if i want to run 35's i need a 2 1/2 is this true. ive also been told a 2 1/2 will put it nose high and whats the best kind to put on without breaking the bank. thanks for help guys

There is a sticky at the top of this sub-forum with lift info you should check out.

You just need to measure the front and rear heights at the wheel wells and find the difference. I put the hell bent steel 2.5" kit on my 07 and it sits perfect. It was like $60 or $70 if you are wondering about prices.

I've got a 2.5 on 35's and it sits level about 50% of the time. Under certain circumstances facing up hill, or with the front wheels turned she's a tad nose high... Its mostly from all the tools I lug around. So a 1.5" AAL or A 3" block will help it sit level or slightly raked all of the time.. I'm probably gonna go the AAL route because I know my leaf springs are getting tired..




The bed lid does give the appearance of a slight rake, but its level.

I've got rancho quicklifts on mine now. I believe they're a 2.5" lift. Sits perfectly level.

well i went out and measured it and the front measured 22.1 and the back measured 23.3 so a 2" would get me a rake in the back correct?

Sounds like yes but it shouldn't. Looks like you're sitting pretty much level right now. Is there any kind of level on it already?

i bought the truck from a guy not a dealer and he didnt say anything about it. But then again i didnt ask. is there a way i can check with out taking it all apart

Yes.

If it has a level then you should be able to see a spacer between the top of the strut assembly and the place it screws in to the truck at the top. Mine sat level so I assumed it had a spacer but when I put my ranchos on to my surprise there wasn't one. Not sure why but there wasn't. Yours could be similar.
