Exclamation Leveling Issues!

I have a 3" level kit on my 05 f150 4x4 and im having horrible coil to control arm contact and even think my tire may be hitting my control arm too. is there any resolution to this problem. i was told to take the level kit off and try and level it from the rear has anybody heard of this or is that crazy? lol i have no idea i also heard of a leveling strut that is supposed to be good. but i dont know if it will get the front end high enough. i really like the way the leveling kit looks and have 0 money for a suspension lift. so any ideas to a resolution ive had it on there for about 2 years and its just getting worse and its pissing me off more and more.. thanks ahead for any solutions or ideas.

some level kits do not incorporate an offset to accommodate for the new angles. this is most likely your issue then.

did you also get an alignment after you put the kit in?

Yeah they aligned it after they did it. Where can I get the off set 1? Do you have a level kit?
