I just base what tbay tire stores want and go from there. $1700.00 is a kit better deal than $2500.00 the cheaper the better!!! ( The above price was from rimzone)
No problem man, once you have your account set up, if need any help knowing what sellers/stores are rated/ranked higher than others or better to trust, just PM me and I can give you some help. Just make sure you read EVERYTHING in the description, I can't stress that enough. I have forgotten in the past and nothing worse than having to send something back after waiting a week or so. Also some kits don't include lug nuts or TPMS and some do, some the warranty is longer than others. One may be $50 cheaper than the other but it might not include lug nuts or TPMS, which they will charge you extra for. Once you see everything is how you want it then go nuts. A lot of them are actual tire stores in different US cities and just post it on eBay for more business and have a number/website you can actually call/visit and speak to a representative

Just make sure you get it from an actual store. I can't stress that enough, but I personally don't trust private sales thats me. I have friends that take the chance.

I've noticed a common theme that I don't understand after looking through numerous posts of leveled trucks. Most leveled trucks here are still ***-end high . Most guys add level to front, and blocks to rear. Isn't the point of adding a leveling kit is to level the truck? I think rake looks terrible on these trucks. Maybe I'm in the minority, but some of the best looking trucks here are the ones that are perfectly level.

Some guys do a lot of towing or have atvs/sleds etc in the box. I know I usually have my quad in the back during the summer. On my last f150 with the quad in the back I was perfectly level. That was my reasoning and it was only .5" higher than the front. I haven't measure this one yet but it looks pretty damn close to level so I think this summer when the quads in the back it will be the same type of situation

Better yet Matt...why do people try to "level" without measuring. Still makes me want to bang my head against the wall when I hear "what height should I put on my truck to make it level?"

Carid may be cheap, but you pay in pain. Ordered some Windshield wipers from them. 3 weeks later they showed up. Messaged them several times during those 3 weeks, never got any kind of straight response. Ended up getting shipped from another retailer by Carid. All I can say is, good luck.

Yes, seems like there is a new thread on this topic daily. Good point in your previous post. I didn't think about towing/hauling. I still think I would rather have a level truck while not towing/hauling, and be nose high while towing. I don't tow much though.

Ya, I agree with the "why don't people measure part" but I usually give the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe they don't know where to measure or something, after all it is a forum lol. Don't give him credit, that was my point in that previous post!!! lol but being serious for a second..

I agree with you and I would rather have a level truck at all times with and without the quad but in all reality its pretty hard to notice .5" of rake... If your referring to the guys that have more rake than that then I completely agree with you and don't like it *** end high either. However, at the end of the day it is their trucks and its customized to how they like them not how we like them, and our trucks are our trucks customized to how we like them.

A few of my favourite sayings "To each their own" and "don't worry about me, worry about you"
