I live in the Carolina's. HATE that look. Reminds me of a dog scooting it's butt on the floor.

Yeah, I figured you knew that wasn't true before you posted it.

I said the cables were flexible and to move them. Cables are made of stranded wire, not aluminum tubing filled with gas.

This is not mission impossible. We're not yet to the point of replacing a $200 shock costing $2500.

You said "I attempted" and then said "my mechanic said."

So you attempted to install a level as well as your mechanic? Or you attempted to get your mechanic to install a level? What kind of leveling kit is it?

Yes, those 3 nuts are now harder to get to, if your mechanic is stating somehow this extra 2 minutes of work (using an open ended wrench and possibly using a magnet to grab the nut) is going to be costly and labor intensive then i would find a new mechanic.

Lots of people with powerboosts have leveled: https://www.f150forum.com/search.php?searchid=20677453

I get what you are saying. Yes... I can move the cables cut I can not move the ridged AC line. I would have to remove a lot of things just to get to it.

So why can so many others level their Powerboost? Guess I am confused.

When I load up my car, I always make sure to fill the bed to capacity. However, it is not heavy at all. In the ten years that I've had pickups, I've only towed once.

That's how I did it with my 2015, because I was too lazy to walk into the garage to get the folding stool.

I get what you are saying but my mechanic didn't say he wouldn't do it... it would just cost me more labor. They are a very reputable shop. They take good care of me. Even in a pinch and that is hard to find these days.

Default Level

Did mine Sunday it is a pain I removed the battery battery box and the big electronic piece behind it for room. There is a bracket on top the strut tower made of plastic I think. You can pry it up and get a 3/8 ratchet and standard socket in there to take off the one under all of that stuff. Once the spacer is on and the top of the strut is not sticking through the tower you can put that nut back on by hand. Probably didn’t need to remove the battery and tray after I figured that out.
