Question 05 king ranch leveling kit

I've read a few threads on leveling kits, but haven't seen much on my truck, so here's my question...what size should I go for?...i want to achieve as much height with just a leveling kit as possible without bringing the front higher than the rear...2, 2.5, 3, 3.5? I've seen a bunch of kits on ebay for under 50 bucks, and I've read enough on here to know not to go with aluminum or poly...i plan on buying a suspension lift down the road, but for now I just won't to give it a little extra...know what I mean jelly bean?

there are a ton of threads on this but measure from the ground to the top of your front wheel well then do the same for the back and figure out how much you need. just don't go over 2.5 inches. every truck is different.

/\ agreed. I put a 2.5 leveling kit on my first 2005 F150 Xlt, and it looked great. However, if you're going to go higher than that, spend the money on a solid suspension kit.

What do you mean "my truck"? Just because you have a king ranch doesn't change anything. (Just so you know) Our trucks are all virtually the same.

Measure the difference between the front and rear, should give you your height to lift. (2" should be good enough)
