my girlfriends dad has a 2004 F150 4x4 STX and it sits really low in the front. What would the best leveling kit to get? I found this >> http://www.hellbentsteel.com/catalog...it/category/5/ but I'm not sure if it's good?

 

I got mine off ebay 3" front lift by sumitt engendering its solid aluminum puck tjta sits on top of the strut tower and the truck sits great 9" from tire to fender in the front and 9.5" in the back

 

i have a 3inch hell bent steel.......and its perfect... most people dont use the 3inch becouse it puts your ball joints in a bind... and it does... but it dont bother me...

 

my readylift 2.5 makes my truck look alot better now.. a little pricey but its a great product

 

ebay has the hell bent steel for 69bucks shipped i beleive

 

hellbent 2.5 inch or the bilstein adjustable shocks 0 to 2 inches

 

I got a 2.5" pro-comp from 4wheelparts.com good spacer that goes above the strut and easy to put in, just make sure you go right to the alignment shop afterwards.

 

Are you guys having ball joint problems or any "clunking" going over speed bumps and what not? I cant imagine a leveling kit riding well with maxed out (or close to it) ball joints......

 

Some kits have had problems with the UCA contacting the coil on full droop. AS and HBS have offset their spacers to prevent this. My 2.5" AS kit allows the shock to bottom out before the UCA contacts the coil.

There is minimal effect on the ride.

 

Thats good to hear.

So if you guys with leveling kits jack up your front end...is there any suspension droop left?
