I've got zone's front 2" coil spacer and rear 2" block "lift kit"... nice parts, decent instructions, easy enough to do, fair price...but don't expect to use the decal, it got destroyed bouncing around in the box in shipping. but that's my only complaint.

you can see my truck in my album, i have a picture with the stock tires and with some bigger rubber.

We are vendor on this forum, so if you have any specific questions about any of our products, let me know. Just like school, if you have a question, chances are 10 others are wondering the same thing.

So, say i want to 'lift' my truck just a bit, but keep the rake on it, as i will be hauling and towing stuff, not often, but often enough. So i get a 2" front level kit, to lift the front, which blocks in back would keep the same rake as stock? i see 3" blocks all over the place for sale, and they say the lift the rear about 1" - 1 3/4". So would this be right for me? What product numbers of your product would i need? Do you know how this would affect warranty?

Oddly enough, my dealer will install a level kit for me, of course its the one that they sell, and i think continue to honor warranty. I just emailed them today asking if i get it done on my own by myself or at another shop if the warranty is still covered and if they offer the rear blocks as well...so we will see what they say about that.

Thanks for answering my questions if you see them.

Your F150 should have a 1.75" factory block installed.

We offer our 2" lift kit (F1213), which includes our 2" leveling kit and 2" rear dual pin blocks with replacement u-bolts. Of course this is designed to be used in conjuction with the factory block which has the bump stop pad on it. This will maintain the factory rake of your truck and give by giving it 2" of lift front and rear.

The warranty question is a dealer specific issue, some install lift kits themselves while others are completely against them and claim it voids the factory warranty even though by law they can not do that.

WEll, talked to them today, and yes they do install them, though they sell the ReadyLift product, and will do the parts, install, alignment for $550...They said i could get it done myself and didn't even say it would void the warranty, though of course, they recommend they do it since they are 'ford trained'...

How do your products compare to the ReadyLift?

The biggest difference is certainly going to be the price at $99.95 for the pair or our spacers vs over $200 for theirs.

http://zoneoffroad.com/product?ki=112&gr=-1

From a design standpoint, both are 2" top strut spacers, however the Zone Offroad leveling spacers are not a simple straight vertical spacer (can't tell if theirs is). We include an offset in the design to ensure there is enough coil to control arm clearance at full droop. Ours does not require strut disassembly for an easy installation. They are powder coated black and include grade 8 hardware.

If you could do the install yourself, you would be looking at under $200 with an alignment in most cases. Less than half of the price that you are currently looking at.

well, it is a dealership doing it...

also, don't know if i could do it myself, but ic ould get my father in law to come over, he would have all the tools, as he is a freelance mechanic, and we could for sure get it done. Most likely though, if I can't get a straight answer on the warranty honoring from my dealer, then I will be waiting until after 36k to get it done, at that time, i would definitely be looking at the zone offroad ones as one of the options.
