Default Leveling....Peer Pressure or just Money to be Spent?

I like the nose-down look of my '08 F-150. I'm curious...How many of you guys grew up loving "Bigfoot"? Monsterface

<-------Bigfoot fan as a child...I like to think my truck resembles Bigfoot on a more user friendly scale haha.

Your truck does look good with the nose down. Leveling kits do serve an important purpose because without them we wouldn't be able to run bigger tires. Some people do install them just to make their truck sit level or appear higher and some just do it b/c everyone else is doing it. If your not going with bigger tires enjoy your nose down. You can always put a block in the rear after installing a leveling kit to make it have the factory gangster lean look.

I loved watching MONSTER JAMS on saturday mornings. Big Foot was/IS the best. My little step daughter calls my truck "monster truck"... but maybe thats because she isn't taller than the tires yet. lol.

As far as your truck goes, I say get a 2.5" HBS kit, then kit an AAL for the rear. You'll gain payload, and maintain the factory "rake" look, plus allowing to fit some fat rubber under the wells now. Clean truck btw!

I say do what makes you happy it your truck you see it and drive it everyday so who cares what everyone else is doing. If you want bigger tires that yes do it if not id say leave it alone.

Thanks for your comments Guys...I sincerely appreciate them. I get Bigfoot...I was there when it was new and Monster Trucks began. I bought my little boy a battery powered Bigfoot when he was about 4 around 1982. I scored another for him two years ago on EBay (NIB) now he's in his 30's. I love the look both ways, but really didn't realize a lift was needed to run bigger tires/wheels. Thanks for the encouragement. I'm beginning to think the SCab 5.5 is the perfect truck for guys who don't "need" a truck. It's cool to drive...I have an exciting mod to show off when I post again...you'll be amazed.
