Leveling Kits FAQ
#421
Ok, so I have a Stock F150 FX4 SCREW, and I am looking to lift the front end and get rid of the 2.5" rake I have there. I have the Pirelli P275/55/20 rims and tires and I am keeping stock but putting BFG's on next time.
I do not know if anyone knows the part number for Bilsteins, but I am interested in them, just want to level the truck and I am going to replace the crappy FX4 running boards with the Power Deployable Lariat running boards.
Can anyone give me a part number for the shocks? and do they completely adjust or just slightly, all I am doing is looking to level the truck but keep it stock with my EB it works well.

what year do you have? Do you plan on doing the work yourself or having a shop do it?

2014 F150 FX4 SCREW All Stock, and I do not have the tools to do this work, I need a shop, and I have one not too far from me that has a good rep so I will use them, Monmouth Truck they do all sorts of mods.
I just think the Bilstein shocks are the way to go to level out the truck and keep a smooth ride, if not I can go for the spacers as well

I just purchased a 2013 FX4 supercrew 6.5' bed. I'm looking to do the leveling kit because I need more space for larger tires (I live off the beaten path). I don't want to cheap out, but also not looking to spend $2500 on a level kit. I was thinking the ICON with coilover 2.5" and an AAL in the rear to level it, or slight front rake. What would you guys advise for a near stock to improved ride quality without breaking the bank? I'd definitely replace the UCAs, but just trying to decide whether a spacer and AAL is all I should do. Don't want to sacrifice ride just over something as simple as money hahaha.
Thanks everyone, I'm also new to the site so hi all.

I cheaped out and did a $199 Rough Country leveling kit. Got the job done cheap and simple and drive feels the same as factory (until I threw on some larger MT tires). Eventually I see myself purchasing the F150Lifts adjustable Boss Coilovers. They sit around $799 or so and I would consider "the right way" of doing it. Might also want to jump on the Icon UCA too.

Yeah I was thinking of just cheaping out for the ReadyLift 2" but I'm really tempted to spend the money on the Boss Coilovers. They caught my eye for sure. Just not sure if it's worth all that extra money.

Alright, so I got me a 2012 XLT 2wd (40,000M).
Now looking to get this truck looking a little more aggressive. Going with a 2.5 front level, not sure what to do with the rear 1.5 block or AAL? I don't haul trailers or tow anything just the norm in the back, tools and maybe camping equipment for the family on trips. Also looking for wheels, wanted 35's but guy told me even with level 2wd only will fit 33's. looking for as close to a true level as possible,unless 2in will work better. plan on passing to my son in 2yrs for high school.
So looking for any recommendations on a setup that may work for me. Any suggestions will help!

Anybody had any issues with leveling kits on new 2015 f150. Just had a 2" zone leveling kit put in and aligned and when I picked my truck up and took off at about 45 my front end just has a loud howl and for some reason when I put it into 4wd it stops? They said its a problem with the truck itself so I should bring it to ford. I have a hard time believing that beings when I brought the truck in it was just fine has 900 miles on it! Any help would be awesome
