Looks good.

Its an 1 1/2 leveling kit, not sure on brand. I got it off of a used f150 that was traded in. The guy didnt want it on, so I had a tech give it to me when they took it out.

Only 1 1/2"? Hmmm.. My buddy has a FX4 and is looking to put a 3" on his because a 2" and 2 1/2" won't make it level...

And that's because his bro-in-law had a 2 1/2" on his FX4 and it wasn't level..

Hmmm.....I measured it before it was put in. Measured exactly 1 1/2". It came out of an 07 XLT, and I figured it was at least a 2". I havent measured it yet. I will tomorrow, but it looks very close to level IMO.

It looks the same as my 05 with my 2" leveling kit. Doesn't really matter what size it is it looks good to me, lol!

Truck looks great. I see you tinted the tail lights. Just curious, how did you do it?

I used the VHT spray paint. Purchased at Orielly Auto. Going to do my third brake light soon.

when you say it measured 1 1/2" are you talkin about the spacer itself, because the spacer is smaller then the lift it gives you, i dont remember exactly what mine measured but i know it was less than 2.5" but it gave me that much lift, the spacer changes the geometry of the front end and gives you the lift, so its not all from your spacer.... hope this makes since lol

I wondered that also. But it makes sense to me atleast.
