Default Lift Kit?

So i have a 04 F150 4x4 and the front is lower the the rear. Is there any kits to fix that, Or if i did a 3" lift would that fix it. I saw one to day driving, it was lifted and even.

Your next question is going to be: "what size do I get?"

I measured from the ground up to the fender on both the front and back. The difference on mine was 2.5 inches so that's what size I installed and it leveled it perfectly.

Do a search of the forum and you'll find many opinions. This subject is addressed on a daily basis.

Good Luck

Do these trucks come like this or do they sag over time? I just put new struts on the front (it really needed it) and it almost leveled it.

Cool thanks i will look at that. Like i said before i just got this truck. I have been in the import scene since 2000. I know every trick in the book to get a car on the ground, but to go up. all new ball game. I really wish i had got a truck earliyer i am having a lot of fun in it.

@Blacknback: what year is your truck. And all you did was put that in and it leveled it?

You can also look into getting new shocks...Bilstein 5100s are popular for our trucks...whichever route you go, be sure to get the truck aligned afterwards!

Mine's an 07. All you need is the leveling kit and if you put the right size in it will level your truck. I also put air bags in the rear so when I tow or haul my rear end doesn't sag. (at least not my truck's rear end)

Ben makes a good point too. The Bilsteins do a great job leveling the truck, but it's a lot more expensive option.

Oldrice-
They do come like this. Brand new, they have a rake to them. For payload and towing purposes.
