Don't be a tease...

Let's see some pics.

OOpps I see them now. All you need now is to add wheel liners in the back or get you some black undercoating and spray the back wheel well areas.

Looks like a few Autospring 2" kits going in. Any noticeable difference in ride or handling? I've been holding out for Bilstein 5100's as I was happy with that setup on our '13 but nothing yet, maybe never??

Default Intro to Leveling Kits Strut Spacer Installation How to Install on F150

As this is an introductory thread to leveling kits, here's a video of a professional installation. It's a relatively easy do-it-yourself which takes between 1-2 hours.

I've heard about alignment(?) needing to be done after a front level. Is this necessary if I leave my stock wheels/tires on?

Strut spacer installation is the same, that is the process is the same. Many leveling questions across a multiplicity of forums are also the same, though please find attached another video with a better badge

Installed the Autospring 2" this morning. Pretty straight forward, the video by Stage 3 helped quite a bit. The task took about 2 hours. Ride quality and handling don't seem to be affected that I can tell.
