Default leveling kit question...

surely i am not the first with this problem... but i have a 2006 f150 supercrew King Ranch. I put on the Daystar 2.5 inch leveling kit... it sits about 1/2 inch from being level. is there anything i can do to get that extra half inch? Im open to suggestions.

Have you gotten a wheel alignment for your truck?i don't rely know anything about it but all the level kit descriptions say that's required to get your true height..I don't know how much it'd do tho

If your still not level, it makes me wonder.. Are your shocks worn? They may not look worn but if they are the originals they might be.

In my honest opinion I believe everyone has to replace ball joints sooner or later. My truck has nearly 155,00 miles and I'm about to change mine myself. Only costing $125. So its not really too big of a deal. I have a 3" level btw with a 2" aal
