leveling kit

Anyone put a leveling kit on a f350 2wd crewcab pickup? I have a 2015 with the 6.2. Is it a spacer? Easy to install? Cost? Thanks

Are you are talking about the spacer that goes under the coil spring? My son and I put one on his 96 F250 and it was pretty simple. It really did improve the stance of his truck. I have looked at this one for my 2002. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Leveling-Kit-2-Lift-for-99-08-Ford-F250-F350-2WD-Silver-Spacers/380972451938?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20131003132420%26meid%3D0d02a9f78b8647f181484a3439ab2f15%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D20131003132420%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D121352518438&rt=nc
I have read here that you may need to grind the parts of the spindle where it attaches to the I beam. When you get it aligned the spindle gets moved closer to the I beam with the new ball joint and alignment shim.

Looking at doing this, could you also use the kit that opposes the kit at the same time? Example, lower leveling kit for 2 inches on bottom of the spring assembly and two inch leveling kit for the top of the strut? Need 4 inch but not 6 inches and am on a budget as its my family vehicle and daily driver.

There isn't enough alignment adjustment for that much of a lift. I wouldn't think double spacers would be safe either.

I did the bottom spacers on mine, 4x4 though, pretty easy, did it in my driveway.

That's a good point. I have been looking for a 3 inch spacer. Is the alignment adjustment the reason that Im only finding 2inch spacers? Id love to have as much as I could get but obviously the price jumps quickly after spacers. Thanks for you insight.

My buddy at the tire shop said I should be able to fit a 285/75/16 with the 2 inch level. Ive found a 3in body lift but it seems odd to spend $300+ for a body lift.
