I want to get a leveling kit for my 2005 f150 stx but i want to get one that is good and reliable. i was thinking more like a 3 inch but i dont know what kind i should get...

 

2.5 is perfect I went with a two just for rideablility and the brand was another factor

 

I just put on this 2.5" leveling kit. I'm new to doing mods on my truck, but my mechanics said they were good quality upon an inspection. Even the resident motor head thought i paid a couple hundred , they are $89 and come with a lifetime warranty for them.

I had a 2.5" Autospring kit on mine before I lifted her. I'd highly recommend that kit to anyone.

 

I used the 2.5 inch autosprings kit on my 08 took 2 hrs total install time, highly recommended 69 bucks and free shipping cant beat it blocks will outlast your truck.

 

Thats who I got mine from. Easy to install and very well built. Thats who I'd recommend.

The best in the long run may be the Bilstein leveling shock's.

 

I used daystars leveling kit for mine a little more expensive but well worth it.
