i put some aftermarket wheels and tires on my truck the other day and they barely rubbed the plastic rock guard on the bottom of the fender so i want to level it so know rubbing and was looking on stage 3 moto last night and have three types. one is like a hockey puck you put ontop of or bottom of the spring the second was a chunk of steel or aluminum that looks like it mounts below the coil spring base to raise where the spring bottom starts and last is just a new set of springs that i assume are a little longer. Which one would you guys go with and why? they all in the same ballpark on price so....

 

The spacer levels that you are talking about work just fine. Whether the spacer is on top of the spring or below it doesn't matter one bit. Be aware that by leveling the truck you will have changed the steering geometry a little and can result in a loosey feeling in the steering wheel and possible steering wobble. A more comprehensive level will include a track bar spacer and stabilizer spacers as well. You will probably also need to realign the truck to restore the factory caster settings. This is a topic I've learned a lot about as I had several nagging problems with the steering on my 2011 partly due to the simple spring spacer leveling kit I put on that truck. This time around I'm including the other parts in the leveling kit to make sure I get the steering experience that Ford spent so much time getting right on the 2017.

 

Epic, does the following kit include everything to do a proper level?

Do yourself a big favor don't go cheap with the 2-inch blocks, do the complete system with the relocation bracket for the traction bar it puts the axle back in the center. next spring if I keep the truck which I don't know I'll be putting in a 3 1/2 -inch system up with the extra spacers on the control arms ReadyLift is one of the best companies . One other good thing that relocation bracket gets rid of a lot of the death wobble with the new shocks never happens on my truck with 35 inch tires. LOL I have to go to the 3 1/2 system because I add two leave Springs per side in the back to keep the truck up, it's actually funny it almost sits Factory front end down . Might not do anything because as soon as the trucks loaded it sits perfectly level but when I go to sell it I know kids are not going to be carrying around transfer tanks ceramic tools and 2 skids of tile I'm sure I'm over my weight limit LOL take care

 

Where is a complete system?

This kit has the spring spacer and the shock adapter but does not include a track bar repositioning bracket. Some guys install the spring spacers and call it a day and are happy with the result. Some will install the spacers, hate the way the steering feels and then follow-up with the other components. I don't want to do the part-by-part approach and will just go all in from the beginning. I don't want to come off as the expert but the kit you selected is missing this:

2008-16 4WD Ford F250, F350 Super Duty Track Bar bracket 2"-2.5" lift - Ford - Track Bar - Suspension Parts

One other thing to note is that the track bar bolt requires a huge amount of torque (406 lb ft or 550 NM). You need proper tools to remove the bolt on the upper portion of the track bar and re-install it on the new bracket.

This is what I'm putting on:

ReadyLift 4WD Ford F350, F450, F550 Super Duty 2.5" Stage2 Leveling Kit 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016

In a couple of weeks I should have it all done and a video of the install and results.

 

The ready lift sems like the best way to go, thanks for the link.

 

I should also mention that the kit I've selected hasn't been approved for the 2017 yet. Another member installed it on his truck and says it works great but ReadyLift has yet to come out and say it works for the 2017.

 

Looked on readylift's site and there is no 2017 level kit. Does anyone know of a 2017 LEVEL kit that has the necessary parts mentioned above????

 

Wicked Customs Is What I Have. I Have The 3.5 Leveling System And The Bumper Spacer To Clear The 37 Inch Tires.

 

Leveled with 2.5" Supreme Suspensions front kit. Turned out nice and alignment was spot on.

 

Does the supreme kit include the track bar bracket?

 

im installing a FabTEch 2" leveling kit on mine next week. Ill let ya know how it is.

 

No, they only include the spacer with grade 8 bolts, nylocks, and boxed shock extensions. The kit quality was really nice.
