My leveling kit is 2" and in turns I get a pop settling noise that sounds like the springs trying to settle on the shock. That's the only problem I have with level and it sets a hair shorter in front.

I have a daystar 2.5" leveling kit on my 04 fx4 and it seems to be perfectly leveled. No problems with suspension just have to get my alignment done.

I have a 2008 xl regular cab short bed and with a 3 inch leveling kit and my front end still sits at least half an inch low if not an inch. Parked next to other fords mine seems to sit lower than most. I have seen a few others this way and I can't figure out what the difference is.

Problem solved, when they were putting the strut back in, they were using a pry bar to lift the upper control arm, when they did that they cracked a line to the vacuum

Not being rude but......8.5 - 8 = 0.5...........not 1.5.

I'd think it'd be hard for the average onlooker to distinguish a .5" difference.
