Leveling Kit

Hello everyone, I am a new F150 owner had to add it to the fleet, I just got a 2012 SC lariat 4x4. This is all new to me as I am coming from an 1999 F250 Powerstoke with front leaf springs. I am in the process of purchasing a 2.5 leveling kit and was wondering if doing this will throw off the Truck Apps on the dash or will it self level. Can someone that has the leveling kit installed please let me know.

I did a 2" with a 1" rear block. Never crossed my mind to check the leveling on the dash apps. I will check later and post.

It won't affect the dash. It doesn't move it enough to change anything. I just installed a 6.5" lift and it didn't effect anything at all

Wow, I never would've thought of that either. Glad to hear it has no affect. Congratulations on the new ride!

Thanks for the help guy, I went ahead and ordered the 2.5 Rough Country leveling kit. Should get it next week and I will hopefully install it next weekend.

Will do, the leveling kit is in so I should have it on in two weeks or so. I also got a Frontier grill guard and rear bumper so I will post pics once I have those on too.
