Default Level kit install

Just moved to RI and been looking for a dealership that will do a level kit on my 2015 F-150. Does anyone know any dealerships in RI or surrounding states like Mass or conneticut that do this work?

Strictly a dealer? Or a 4x4 shop?

Why would you want to go to a dealer?

Don't think dealers do that sort of work. If so let me know. Not sure they will take the liability on an aftermarket install unless they have kits.
I'll probably do it myself.

Some dealers do, most require you to purchase the kit through them though. I have heard of some being able to bring parts they have ordered and had them install it.

YES! Well maybe not mandatory but its a very good idea to do so. The reason they say to disconnect the battery is because its been said that if you move the steering rack when installing the leveling kit with the battery still hooked up can damage the rack. A 8mm and 4.5secs of your time to disconnect the negative terminal can save you a lot of headache. Ive installed dozens of leveling kits, the first couple trucks with electric power steering that I installed kits on I did not disconnect the battery nor did i have any issues after the install. But after reading about possible damaging the rack I disconnect them all now.
