Default Leveling Kit Questions

Hey yall, new member here. I have a 2010 XLT F150 2WD and I would like to put a leveling kit on it. Having done a bunch of searches on the site I still have a few questions so hopefully yall can help me out. Unsure whether I should go with the 2" or 2.5"? Any complaints with either? Pictures? What are some of the better leveling kits? How will it affect the ride, gas mileage, power, etc? Any other advice or tips would be great. Thanks again in advance.

I'd stick with the 2". The 2.5" looks a tad front high to me. I have a 1.5" auto spring level so that when I'm pulling my boat it still sits level. I didnt notice any changes in ride quality, rides the same as new. If you plan on doing it yourself, don't even attempt it without a impact wrench. The shock bolt is on with somewhere around 300 ft pounds. Also make sure have a buddy helping, it's difficult, if not impossible to reinstall the strut by yourself. With 2 people it is easily done.

Also, I missed that you have a 2wd, mine is 4wd. To level yours it probably only needs a 1.5" because yours is not as high in the rear.
