Default Leveling Kit Problems,Questions,opinions

I am debating on whether or not to get a leveling kit for my 2011 f150 5.0 4x4 offroad.

If I do I am going to get a 2-2.5 inch level probably in a spacer cant afford much more right now.

My question is I have read some mixed reviews on if leveling kits cause problems/stuff to wear out quicker? Mainly I have heard of them causing you to spend more time on your bump stops, Coilovers rub on A Arms and other things.

Heres the format to answer in

What size leveling kit do you have
What brand is it
What style is it Spacer/new strut shock
How many miles do you have on it
What problems if any has it caused

Thanks in advanced for the opinions and responses.

For the amount of people that have them on their trucks, the problems are very minor.

Go with a 2 inch that should level your truck. Id suggest either auto spring or heavy metal as those have an offset that will keep your UCA from contacting the coil on your coil over at full drop.

Steering rack clicking on some models with electric power steering.

The bump stop mentioned earlier is more likely due to an increased tire size and decreased turning radius.
