I put leveling kit on mine and best $230 before I decide on bl or sl. When u turn torsion bolts u will b lucky to get 1.25" of lift. I got 2.75' out of my leveling kit and put 2" blocks in the back. Now I'm thinkn a 2" body lift will b good engh

The mod that closed the thread has to be the one to reopen it and bobkyle closed it. I asked ymeski to talk him into reopening it but we'll see what happens. Read the last few pages in this thread... https://www.f150forum.com/f15/un-official-most-common-unanswer-thread-168911/

I don't doubt that at all. The problem is the angles of your front drive train are well outside of a good operating parameter and will cause premature wear. Ask any alignment shop or person on here that has a mechanical background.
