Default leveling kit
I have a 2004 F150 with a 2.5 inch leveling kit with 33 inch tires. I am wearing out the right side front axle quickly. I need to know how to correct this, the angle is too steep. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions would be appreciated

My mechanic said the same thing!! They said try a bigger spindle maybe that would reduce the angle and wear like a normal truck.

I've been running a 3" Rough Country level and 35"s for 2 years and have beat the crap outta my truck offroading and haven't had a problem yet. Maybe its just a weak part on ur truck.
