Default 05 fx4 leveling kit question

Hry guys im new here just bought my first f150 2 monthe ago. I have been searching these forums up and doen amd cant decide what size leveling kit to buy. I knoe i want to get an autospring. tje front of my truck is 2.5 inches lower. Im afraif if i get the 2.5 the nose will stick up. I also heard a lot of bad about the 2.5. Do you thhink a 2” kit will do the job? I dont want to put any blocks in the back by the way. Thanks!

Dude,

I'm running a 2.5 inch level and 35's. The truck sits level all the way around. If you want a slight rake then you could always do a 2 inch lit and sit just a tad lower in the front

We are finding that customers are getting the result you are after by using the Rancho QuickLifts in the front.
