Good Morning Ford Country,
This is my first post to the forums and I hope you all are doing well.

I'm in the market for a leveling kit and have been looking at the 2.5" kit that Rough Country has. I've never leveled any of my prior trucks before. To all you who have done this, is the leveling kit even worth the time and money put into it? Other than the "look" of the truck after the install how does it handle/ride? The reviews on the RC site give it great feedback, but I'm just curious as to what your thoughts are about it. Worth the investment?

I have a black 2015 Ford F-150 XLT SuperCrew by the way.

SF. Welcome to the Forum. I too have never levelled my own Rig but have wanted to for years. I haven't because I do lots of heavy towing. Didn't want headlights pointing to the sky with a load on. I'd say it's mor of a cool thing or to allow some larger tires. You will certainly find lots of info on your Rig. Be sure to post some pics.

I just had my 2.5 rough country leveling kit installed last week. $99 for the kit, $275 for the dealership to install, front end alignment, and adjust the headlights. Greatly improved the look of the truck, steering feels a little lighter. Necessary for the wheels and tires I am putting on.

I appreciate the responses gentlemen. Post some pictures of your trucks when you can. I will certainly post before and after once mine is completed.

I did the 2.5 rough country with the rear blocks and shocks on my 16. I wanted a little rake so I'd have no squat when pulling a trailer.

Although it isn't a newer vehicle, this is my 2012. I had the 2.5" Rough Country leveling kit installed about three weeks ago, and I am a fan of it. I haven't had any problems with it. It rides really nice, and I can't really even tell a difference from before I put it on there. It looks like it skipped leg day, but I eventually am going to try and get 35s on there..

I actually ordered mine last week which should be installed this week. I will post some pics. I put my new tires and wheels on this week.

2.5" RC and 295/70r18's. Every truck I've had, a RC level has been put on it. Very simple to put on. A friend and I installed mine in 45 minutes. That's probably not even fast. Spend the $99 and put it on yourself. You'll be happy with it!

Yes it's for looks and tires but it also gives the truck more ground clearance, which is never a bad thing for deep snow or off roading.
