2" leveling kit

Just installed a 2" Autospring front leveling kit. Easy intall great instructions and Tech. support. The 2" kit makes the 06 F-150 4x4 exactly level. Ordered online from Autospring no charge shipping and was at my front door in 2 days. Kit and front end alignment cost less than $150.00 and makes the truck look great,installing new tires next week.

Watch for tire wear even with the "alignment". I found that not all alignments are created equal and that some of our F150's need the addition of a camber kit for additional adjustment. I had two alignments completed at the deal and continued to have heavy wear on the out side edges. Added the camber kit and new tires again, and it seems much improved. Rides smoother too (was it the tires or the alignment??). Had 4WheelParts do the camber kit and alignment.

Gotta be tough on the CV joints. Is there a kit to lower the front differential to maintain the half-shaft alignment?

On a full blown lift kit, yes.
On a leveling kit, no.

Yeah I dont think two inches is enough to hurt anything.
