Leveling Kit

Hi Guys, I installed my Ready Lift 2.5" leveling kit. I don't know if it is my eyes or does the front look to high now? The rocker panels and the bed rails look perfectly level, but the front wheel wells look like there is more lit in the front than the rear wheel wells. Is that the way it should be? Is 2.5 the only lift for the new Super Duties? I have not seen any 2" kits.

Many sizes available, depends on your needs. Try measuring the highest point of the fender wells, front and rear on level ground and see what you have.

Looks truly leveled to me. 2” leaves the back just a bit higher. Maybe by 1/2”.

I think it looks front high when comparing at the wheel wells, but it could just be the photo. I like some rake though and dislike nose high stance. BDS makes a 2" kit.

To me there's something about the body lines that make the 2 1/2" look front high to me even though on the tape it's not. I went 2" BDS for that exact reason and am happy with it. Bigger tires I think makes it look less noticeable.

I agree, with my 2" kit I'm still over an inch low in the front according to the tape but it's hard to see it with the eyes.

Looking at the different kits, I see that the 2.5" kit requires shock extensions, sway bar extensions, brake line plates, and (with the addition of 35" tires) a speedo re-calibrating box. So, my question is, does that all apply to a 1.5" leveling kit also?

You could get by without any of this with the 1.5" kit.
Re calibrating the speedo is up to you mine is off by about 2 mph with the 35x12.50's

Drawing lines thru the picture looks like the picture was not taken straight on. Drawing a level line thru the body shows you are pretty much perfectly level.
