Hey ive had my truck for a couple months now and am not a fan of the front end sag. what is the safest way to level it? i hear strut spacers are hard on your front end. are there any kits that keep the same geometry and angles?

 

Best bet (in my opinion and from lots of advice from these forums) is to throw a HBS (Hell Bent Steel) 2.5" level on the front and you'll be good to go!

best way imo is bilstein shocks set to lvl 2.

 

I think I will also go with the bilstein 5100's when I get some cashed saved up.

 

Ive read about both of them a lot. What kind of parts go bad when you put on a leveling kit?

 

Most likely the upper and lower ball joints. Once you go with bigger tires then you can add tie rod ends to the mix. Its all preventative maintence stuff and its not that bad. If its a high mileage truck its stuff that will need to be replaced soon anyways. Im at 99,000 miles with a 8" lift and 37's and will be replacing tie rod ends soon to make sure the tires stay in shape. My ball joints are fine even after my level(was on for 20k miles before my lift).

 

It really becomes about the money, ride quality you desire, and intended use...

 

I say Rough Country is the way to go I had there leveling kit on my Tahoe and I am about to put one on my f150.

I just bought a 2.5in leveling kit from this guy. http://www.ebay.com/sch/rough-terrai...&_trksid=p3686
Saved me a bunch of money and from what i can see it is identical to the HBS leveling kits.
It looks like he only has the 3in ones on there right now but if you send him a pm he might have the 2.5 ones also.

 

Mine has 87k miles on it. im not a serious off roader, but after a good rain i love taking my truck down the mud roads by my place. A lot of highway and gravel driving. and i only plan on running 33's.
