probably go over. it will be bulldogged a little which imo looks good but its whatever you like. 2.5 will get you about as close as your gonna get. ive seen adjustable ones before but i dunno who makes it

Park on a level surface, measure from the ground to the wheel well. Then repeat in on the front. Add 1/2 inch to the difference and that is the size of leveling kit I would buy. This worked for me, all trucks are different. Good Luck.

Do you think that I could crank the torsion keys if it needs a little more lift in the front

do a forum search or a google search for "pics of 2004 F150 with 2.5 inch leveling kit" you can see first hand what peoples results were.

Rancho makes the Quick Lift Coilover Shock Absorber which is fully adjustable from 1-2.5 inches..they even sell a wireless remote for it so you can sit in the cab and adjust it. Here is a link to rancho's website

I have ext-cab and it had more rake then many trucks. so i put on a 2.5 inch. i figured it would still sit higher in the back. after wards it sits 1/2 inch higher in the back!!! i couldnt believe it. now i regret putting the 2.5 inch on instead of the 2.
