Leveling kit
Hello,
I have a 01 F-150 shortbed stepside with a 4.6 L Off Road edition......i'm interested in the leveling kit for my truck.....how much does it lift the front.....my truck seams to be really close now without the kit.... when it's done will it sit level or will the front be higher then the back....and what size tire will i be able to fit after the leveling kit is on
thank you

the torsion bars will only go so far depending on how the truck sits now, and you stand a chance at bottoming the bolts out. To level my 2002 the adjusters had to be screwed all the way to the top. That leaves no room left and if not careful I could have easily stripped them out. It would be nice to have another way to level the front end. There is a guy on ebay that sells new plates to put on the torsion bars that are supposed to give you more adjustment but I have not heard of anyone using them yet so do not know how well they will work.
