Default Just got her leveled!!

Quick story, I bought my truck about 2 weeks ago or so and within a day I found that they actually had a f150 forum. Since visiting the site I came across a leveling thread and never really paid to much attention to the rake of my new ford. Well that started everything, I had to get a kit, so I bought a 2" strut spacer on ebay from HeavyMetal lifts for $68 and free shipping. Literally just got my truck back and took some pics. She drives super nice so far and I plan on just keeping the stock 18's since the wheel wells don't look ridiculously big lol!! Plus I love my new mpg I'm getting, just came from a Dodge that was getting 10.9 mpg city and highway! I did get a wheel alignment also. Thx to this site for making my truck badass and that's the only opinion I care about, but if you like I love compliments lol!! First pic is before and other 2 are now, thx for looking.

Thx man, really interested to see how it'll handle the camper now and hopefully won't need to add anything to the rear.

Nice!! I'm still debating on a 1" or 2" level though...
Every time I see someone with a 2" front lift, it slightly appears the front is now a tiny bit higher then the rear. I really just want it completely level and don't care for the bulldog look (not sayin yours looks like that).

Still good lookin truck and thanks for postin a pic of the difference!!

Trust me I swear the front looks higher too but I've measured it 2 x now and there's a one inch drop still.

lol, thats the only thing Ive yet to do...measure the actual difference between the front & back.

I am lookin at the blue 150 next to yours and am impressed with the difference it made. I am just wondering if my 12' FX2 is sitting as low as the blue one cause it doesnt feel that low..lol

Funny how little things bug the crap out of me lol! I actually took pics after I jacked the front up 2"and couldn't believe how big a difference it made.

I know what your talking about , something to do with steering. I had my mechanic install for me, 2 hours of labor. And yes it sits like I put a reg suspension lift on it for 1/8 the price lol!
