Looking for get a leveling kit for an 09 F150 FX4
I was looking at the Hell Bent Steel one (Hell Bent Steel Specials / Leveling Kits) It looks quality but haven't seen but one person run it on this site from searching atleast.
Has anyone coupled a leveling kit with a 1" leaf spacer in the rear? Where could I get one? I put in the vehicle info on 4wheelparts.com and they gave me one and the description says it's for a jeep so I'm confused?

Next is tires. He was looking at getting Cooper Discovery STT in either 325/60R18 or 325/65R18 or maybe even a 305/60R18? These would be with the stock 18" wheels. Has anyone ran anything bigger than the stock 275 with the stock wheels?

 

I installed the daystar 2.5" level kit on my 09 and i love it. lifted it enough to clear a set of 35/12.5s on the factory 20" wheels.

 

I had a 2.5" installed on my 2010. I put 305/55/20 (33x12.50)Nitto's on my stock rims. Prob could have fit the 35's like the above poster, but I didn't want to mess my gas up too bad.

Never checked on doing the 1" in the rear. Why waste the time?

 

I did the 2.5" pro-comp levelign kit and I run 325/60R18 Nitto Terra Grapplers currently but I have after market wheels. I will tell you that I attempted to run the 325/60R18 Cooper STTs on my 2004 F150 with a leveling kit and the tires rubbed on the Swing arm in the front at turn so bad that I decided against them.

 

How does the leveling kit affect handling? Ride? Will suspension components wear faster? I really like the look and extra clearance would help in our late deer season, we had 30" snow half way through December! Cheers!

 

i didnt notice any difference in ride or handling. suspension is fine after 60k miles with the kit
