Why did the 1.5 fabtech leveling kit only netted 13/16 ? I thought a 1.5 leveling kit would raised the front end by 1.5 inches? Does anyone knows why ?

If it was designed for an 09-14 style, it will still work in a '15+, but the suspension angles cause it to not give as much lift as the previous generation. Spacers need to be bigger in the new ones, to give the same amount of lift.

Thanks for the pics, I've been looking at levelling kits and the 1.5" fabtech is the one I keep going back to.


Did you buy the kit locally? I'm in Calgary.

Hi all, I have not posted in a long time due to various reasons. Wanted to give an update on these amazing tires. 172,599 km on the tires and still have 55% tread left. This will be the last winter I run them but am so impressed with how they have held up. I purchased and had the level kit from local ford dealership. They are doing this on alot of vehicles and simple modification for majority of ford dealership.

The truck has 180,710 km on it. The tires were installed at 8110 km netting 172,599 on tires. Tires were run at 38 psi and rotated EVERY oil change. 90% highway with remaining grid road with and without loads. I haul a boat in the summer and have 20,000 km of hailing (5000-6500 lb loads). My relatives have run on F250 and did not have similar tire life so set up is excellent fo half ton but maybe not for heavier use. Regards.
