i just purchased an 05 extended cab f150 stx two weeks ago and i want to put a leveling kit on there but i dont have the proper tools to do it myself. roughly how much should labor cost on the leveling kit. and any suggestions on certain leveling kits. all opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

 

$150 bucks or so...1.5 hours labor

 

I live in Oklahoma and it's about 100.00 - 125.00 for labor, also about 1.5 hour job.

 

What proper tools do you need? You can rent a ball/joint seperator from Autozone, and then all you need are regular everyday ratchets. I would recommend saving your cash and DIY but if you truly must pay, no more than 1.5 hrs labor for sure. Good luck!

 

As far as suggestions go.. I'd go with Hell Bent Steel's 2.5 inch leveling kit.. can't beat the $60.00 something price tag and they provide full color DIY instructions on their website.

 

I recommend the Hell Bent Steel, can get it off their website for $69. I just had mine put on at the dealer, they charged me $120 plus the cost of a front end alignment.

 

install yourself and use the money you saved for an alignment

 

Just do what i did and was allot easier.Just remove the whole strut assembly.Took me about 45 minutes total.Wham bam done babe

Just do what Vanoford said.Go rent the tools
