leveling kit pictures

I have a '15 Screw and I would like to put a leveling kit on the front of it. You guys have any pics of leveled trucks out there that could help me make up my mind, how big and what kind? Thanks!

I wonder if Ford made F-150s with lower front suspension so they are are going downhill on level terrain. That should improve MPG. I didn't notice much change when I "leveled" mine though.

Looking good guys!
Anyone having issues with rear end sag when towing? Looking at leveling mine in the near future, just curious what you folks have encountered.

Yeah, mine will sag with 1000 lbs in the bed. I don't have a trailer with that much tongue weight right now, but that should give you an idea. I plan on adding a 1.5" block and some better shocks. I think I'd really prefer a proper 4" lift.

But sag is caused by heavy weight not the lack of height. If your going to carry 1k or more (in the bed or via bumper pull trailer), the best solution are a set of Air bags.

My old F250 would sag with 1200lbs trailer weight. I opted on it for a set of Super Springs. It never sagged again, but it did make it ride much rougher than before.

My new F150 will be getting a set of Air Rides in the very near future. They allow you to maintain your current ride height + smoothness while not towing/hauling.
