Daystar Level Kit
Well I just ordered a Daystar Level 2.5" kit for my F-150 XLT Scab 4x4.
I assume this will bring my truck level. Other than a front end alignment, is there anything else I should know? Will 2.5" be enough or too much?

Bull dog I think from what I have read you will be happy. The 2 1/2" kit will get you level or extremely close so close it will be unnoticable. A front end alignment will be all you need and I guess by your question will it be enough I am assuming you mean to level it out. congratulations and enjoy. I think i am going to try and run the 3" skyjacker that replaces the factory strut and coil with a longer shock and new coil and adds a leaf to the rear.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.

The autospring 2.5" spacer kit is a billion times better. I had the daystar and took it off and installed the autospring kit.

AutoSpring makes both a 2" and a 2½" leveling kit for 2004 - 2005 F-150's. ¿Which one is better? or ¿Which one is closer to being level?
On another note, ¿Do I want my truck to be level?. I certainly don't want the front end pointed towards the sky when carrying a load and/or towing.

You need the 2.5 inch leveling kit, I have the Daystart 2.5 inch kit. If you put bigger tires on your truck that is when you notice the difference. I can't see 2 iches making the truck level. I have no problems with the daystar kit, I am runnig 305/70R17 tires, and it is definatley level, I checked it in my friends shop with a tape meaure, it makes a big difference. The only time it suck is when I have my sled in the back, the front ends sits a little higher, its no big deal, its better then have the front sitting stupid low the rest of the time.

I agree with RobinBC. I have the same exact setup tires included and I am completely satisfied. Yes, if you load the rear heavily the front will nose up some. Personally I dont do that much hauling or towing. If I did I would probably install heavier duty shocks or and additional leaf to the rear.
