Default I need some help.

Being that this is my first newer model truck, and also my first F150, I really don't know all that much about them, other than what i read on here. But anyways, I've got a couple questions about my 04 F150:

1. With a 2.5" leveling kit, would I have to alter the suspension in any way? (i.e. Longer shocks?)

2. If I were to put 33's on my truck (after the leveling kit), would i need to get a new set of gears installed? Or would it really make that much of a difference?

Keep in mind, this is a 2WD Supercab.

You shouldn't have to alter your suspension for a 2.5" AS, i put in my 2" and didn't have to do any mods.

You won't have to alter your suspension in any way by adding a leveling kit. I had a 2.5" kit on my truck prior to lifting it and had no issues.

You won't need to regear until you go 35's or larger, but your speedo will be off. Your dealership should be able to recalibrate it for you though.

LOL I'm dropping my truck off tonight to have them start diagnosing my missing oil problem I asked them since they have it if they could reprogram the computer for 33's and they looked at me like I had 5 heads makes me feel confident on them fixing my oil problem
