What compressor do most recommend? How about the ones auto part stores loan out?
I could consider doing the 5100s myself… back for sure are easy…
Back are easy, if you can hold a wrench, there’s no reason to pay someone else to do it.

It has the ability to completely compress a standard strut spring.
I wish I’d gone this route. The one I bought was heavy enough but without a good heavy vice on a bench, trying to hold it and crank on it got REALLY tough. On hindsight maybe halfway mounted on the truck could’ve worked. Mine are set at 1.25” because I wanted to leave a little rake but also because I don’t think I could’ve compressed it any more.
I have an Eibach kit inbound to freshen up the FX suspension (which I've hated since new). It will be good to get rid of the rear Beersteins and gain some civility back in my highway commute.
Should I be considering lower ball joints and upper control arms at this mileage (75,000)? I don't want to go back in in 25k miles, but I would like to limit the time the truck is inoperable, and the amount of time I'll be sitting on cold cardboard outside.
Have others found enough wear in cntrlarms and balljoints to justify replacement at 75k?
Just installed the Ford Performance - Fox 2.0 Leveling kit on my 2020 LFG Lariat 4x4 SCREW with Bronze Method 305 17x8.5 +25 wheels and BFG KO3 305/70R17 tires. 2.5" of lift in front, Zero rub, the BFG's fit great and are perfectly flush, no poke.
Looking to do a Level kit on my Truck. This is purely cosmetic. I don't tow heavy (Few boat camping trips)
Am i better off doing a 2" spacer to lift the front or drop the back 2".
Leaning towards Dropping the back. Maybe a little easier getting stuff out the bed.
Pro's and Con's?

After only a week with the Ford Performance leveling kit, I love it! It sits level and is a much better controlled ride, that is the shocks are doing a better job, no bouncing and the front springs are slightly firmer. Highly recommended!
