Default Added 2.5" level kit on the front

Well I added a 2.5" level kit on the front of my truck. I think it looks good and I did lose 2mpg with the lift and wider tires and wheels. I installed on my 2011 f150 4x4 super crew platinum 20x9 wheels with +1 offset and my tires are hancook a/t 305/50r20. Rides good and I did get alignment done.

It was pretty easy to get off but getting the strut back on lower control arm required second set of hands. YouTube makes it looks easy. I had my rotors supported because I didn't want to break my lines. But being supported kept me from getting strut back into the mount. Once I took off the support I stood on the lower control arm and used my sledge hammer. It popped right in place after that. Total job took me 3 hours.

I'm going to level mine. I just don't want it to turn into a lumber wagon.

It wasn't that bad and I just did 2.5" in the front only. I lost 2 mpg putting tires on it and leveling the front up.
