Sorry I didn't see the request for pics earlier. These are 1.5" with the airbag perch. 1" of rake. You can also see fox shocks. Spy kitty not included.

This is exactly the Truck I want. Very Nice! I wanted Ruby Red, but I have to put my Business Logo on it and it just doesn't look right on the Ruby.

I actually preferred the ruby red myself, but I work for John Deere so it really doesn't mesh well.

No there's f150 to cruise around in. You could have spent that money on sweet SUV or sports car no need to hassle yourself in a large truck. Guys think it's cool to drive a diesel truck nowadays and have 900 ft lbs of torque, 32,000 towing capacity for what? They have smaller trucks for that.

Drive what you want it's your money. Usually such strong opinions on how one should spend THEIR money come from jealousy. Sad.

I've got a f250 gas platinum . Can you guys give me some pros and cons of a level kit and also reccomend a kit that's of great quality.

Thabks in advance
I have noted that as I tow heavy about 70+% of my driving, the rear end has settled in and while the truck is not level, it sits MORE level than when I bought it...

Have not measured mine, but I have a fifth wheel and we roll about 30 weekends a year. Looking at pics from the first wkd we rolled and now I would say I am down about the same, its a clear visual that it does sit lower...

Do you know what an F-150 costs vs an F-250? Do you know how an F-250/350 is better than an F-150 regardless of whether it's used to tow?

"Hassle yourself in a large truck." If it's a hassle, what are you doing here?

What's it to you how he spends his money?

I recommend a coil vs a spacer and with a shock designed for the coil rate.
