Default Is a 2.5 level kit worth it?

Have a f150 fx2. Should I get a rough country leveling kit? 2.5? How much lift will that get me? I have 22x9.5 wheels with 33" tires. I can't get a 6" lift like I wanted Cuz of my backspacing and offset of my wheels (xd monsters) any options? Opinions?

A 2.5 inch level kit will raise your front end 2.5 inches after alignment to match your stock rear end...You may want to measure what you need first...all trucks are not the same.

It depends what you are going for........do you need extra height in the back for towing? Or for fitting bigger wheels and tires? Are you going with a leveled look to the truck or do you want a raked looked? Need more info

The rear doesn't technically get a leveling kit, you either put bigger blocks or add leaf springs.

I bought wheels and tires before I wanted to get a 6" lift and now a jacked up leveling kit is my only option with these tires. What's the highest I can get for a leveling kit

only option... how about sell the wheels and get some that will work with what you want. you can go 3" in the front on a 2WD...without major problems.. it would help to know the offset of you wheels we are trying to cram under you 2WD...
