Here's a link to my write-up for one method of doing the leveling kit install on the '14's. Take your time and follow them exactly and you'll be fine.

I went AS 1.5" front only. To me it's perfect. I'm clearing 275 65 20 (34x11) Duratracs. Have 1/4 rake. Last truck was a 2012. Had AS 2" front and 3" rear block and 295 70 18 (34x12) Trail Grapplers.
My 2014 rides fantastic. If you don't want to add to the rear, I recommend the AS 1.5". A 2" on mine would have made it nose high.

2014 FX4; 1.5" AS front kit, 2" AS rear blocks; BORA 1.25" wheel spacers; 275/65R20 Nitto Terra Grapplers (34.1" tall). I had 1.75" of rake from the factory, and the 1.5" kit put me very close to level, so I put the 2" rear blocks in and got back to about 1/2" rake, which is what I wanted in the first place. No difference in ride quality due to the kit ... only difference is the feeling of E rated tires vs. P rated tires ... but I don't think it rides rough at all ... it just feels more "sporty" to me, with a lot less body roll due to the stiffer sidewalls on the E rated tires.

Well..midas does struts every day, so I figured why not let them do it..what could go wrong? Found out what can go wrong. They wrecked 2 iwe units...A complete hub assembly. .axle bearings amongst some other things that ford ended up fixing for 2k.
ford wanted 240 for the install..midas 150..was it worth it..well, no..but I learned my lesson the hard way!
Don't let midas or any other wanna be shop do yours..let the dealer do it.
