Default What leveling kit?

im looking to level out my 2012 Lariat W ecoboost 1.5"-2" an I don't want to have to cut the tops of the stock strut bolts.
Can anyone shed some light on which kit to use so I can just bolt it in without cutting. Thank you Jamie.

What size tires do you want to put on? That will be a deciding factor as for size....
You don't have to do any cutting with 1.5 or 2" as far as I know.

As for brand, I hear autospring and F150lifts are good. I've had good success with ReadyLift and ProComp.

It's the Daystar kits that require you to trim the top studs on the struts.

I did a lot of research and measuring on this before getting mine. Heres what i came up with: Autospring is great, and has a great customer service. as for the measuring, 1.5" will make it appear level, because the fender wells will have equal gapping. 2" will make it appear to be just a hair nose-high, BUT will actually be perfectly level according to measurement. The reason it appears slightly taller up front is simply because your front wheel wells are cut larger than the rear wells. Both look great though, definitly gives a good stance to it

you should remove that lower air deflector cowl thingy, it makes it look like a foot taller in the front i took mine off right after installing the lift haha but a lot of people say to leave it on the eco also, cause it supposedly protects some sort of lines or something. idk tho. nice looking truck, i like how you found the 6.5' bed, i cant find any hardly here
