Default I need an inch

I'm new to this forum and need some possible solutions to a problem

I have a 2012 f150 4x4 and I put a zone leveling kit on it. Then I out a replacement front bumper on it and the thing weighs a ton. It has brought my front end down about an inch.

I know most of you would find this trivial but I'm kind of **** about this stuff. I was wondering if you knew of any ways to get my inch back to bring it back to level while keeping the bumper on?

Adjustable coil overs like F-150 lifts boss, Icons, Fox. Lose the level pucks if you go that route.

Thats what she said...

But anywho. As said, bilstein or icon or fox or any of them with adjustable front coils will do what you need.

You should go to a different "Truck Accessories" store then.


Level Kits are basically for looks only...and if you plan any kinda mods or want a better ride...you need a real lift (preferably adjustable).

you already installed strut spacers... how would you add length to that, besides remove the 2.5" and install 3".. you could remove the rear block to achieve the desired level...or change the thickness of the rear block to match the front...cheap way out. but, I agree with the above statement...do it right and install a 4" or 6" lift.
