leveling kit pics
anyone have before and after pics of leveling kit install?
I am looking into the Skyjacker kit with 2" lift and option of add-a-leaf or spacers in the rear.
I have a Centurion Crew F150, the the weight on the f150 parts is taking it's toll.
I want to put some 33" tires on it...I LIKE THAT SIZE WITH STOCK height, but will be even nicer with a light bump in lift.

no no...I want the front higher...consider that my F150 is a Centurion, crew cab with stock suspension. The front springs are just not rated for the weight on them so it sags worse than if it was a long bed super cab.
My list is:
SKyjacker leveling kit
skyjacker caster/camber/balljoint nuts
steering stabalizer (I had 35's once and every little rock put to to the ditches)
ProCOmp shocks all around.
33" tires on my ALco wheels
DONE

I do not now how to post pictures on my work computer, but if you look in
my albums, I have before and after pictures with the following:
stock 31x10.5x15, 2 inch coil spacers with 31x10.5x15, 2 inch coil spacers with 33x12.5x15, 6 inch lift with 33x12.5x15 and 6 inch lift with 35x12.5x15.
If you ask, I can post the pictures later when I get home.

I saw the pics, and Pmed you for more Q&A
Now, just a thought I had…It is probably best to get the 33s and the kit at the same time.
Unfortunatly the previous owner has 31 on front and 32 on back.
Despite this, I think I should just a jack to raise the chassis 2" in front or x" front or rear to get an idea of what it will look like....reason I go through this effort is to find out what I need to do to the rear. If I can spend $130 on 2" spacers the the rear looks perfect with NO change...then I am done. I just hate to put over $200 into a kit that could make the truck ride rougher or have that raked look again after I install the rear spacers/leaf.
subject to be continued after I find some tires.

Before....
After...
The front has settled a bit so now it's sits perfectly level.
2 inch coils up front, new longer shocks and Monroe coil over shocks in the rear. Ride is spectacular.

ya, i'm not a fan of huge lifts. they look meaner with as big tires you can fit as low as you can without rubbing, plus lower center of gravity is always good.
