Average cost of leveling kit
I bought a 2014 F150 4x4. I want to level it. From what I've read the Bilstein level shocks seem the most popular. Anyone disagree?
Whats good, average, and high costs including installation? I don't want to get ripped off.
Anyone run into any warranty issues after leveling their truck?
Also did many people sell their stock wheels/tires when they went bigger? If so for how much? Mine have 1K miles on them right now.

I would said the upperend shouldn't be over $500. Low end $300ish. Labor shouldn't be more than 3 hours at most. I've heard good things about the 5100 shocks over the spacer kits. I was once quoted a while back $150 for install of two front 5100 shocks. Amazon has the best deal on them.

Bilstein doesn't work on 2014s. Look at boss..icon or 150.lifts. com

Works on all year models with coil springs. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/sps-24850/overview/
Cost $16.00 + shipping and easy to install. Here's a few pics of my truck using them.

How they look installed
There is one caveat to using these stabilizers, they will stiffen the suspension a little bit but if your truck is like mine it's too damned soft from the factory so it's a win win for what I think a truck suspension should feel like, YMMV.
If for some reason you want to remove them just pop them out. Installation will require you to spread the coils apart enough to get them in place.
Took me all of 20 mins to do my truck.
