Leveling Kit 2wd screw
Hey everybody!
I just got an 06 F-150 supercrew 2wd and was wondering if it was a good idea to put a leveling kit in the front to level it up. I asked my mechanic and he said it might be a bad idea. will this hurt my front end? is it worth it? I just want to make my truck look nice and don't want to jack it up since it's just a 2wd.
I was also thinking of getting exhaust for it, I want something that sounds good, but not too loud, I kinda enjoy the quietness sometimes. any suggestions??
thanks,

I got a flowmaster on a 02 supercrew with the 5.4 motor. Don't know if it's a 2 or 3 chamber but it sounds good when you give it some gas but it's not loud. Even idling in the morning you can't even hear it much. It still has all the emission stuff with the 2 into one pipe too. Maybe someone knows the differance between the two size why???

If your looking at just a leveling kit there should be no issue.
As for the exhaust, a flowmaster 50 series would do you nicely.

I recommend the autospring leveling kit (click here for the 2" or here for the 2.5") and I installed it myself. Simple to do, took about 2.5 hours without any special tools required, and all I needed afterwards was a toe-in front alignment.
There are many trucks on this forum running the autospring and I have not read a single complaint yet.
Its a quality product.

I need to go the opposite direction. I would like to drop the back end to match the front. This would probably give me better handling as well as improved vision while backing. Any ideas?

I just installed the Ground Force kit to lower the back. Now it looks right!
See this link http://www.fordmuscle.com/archives/2006/06/F150Lowering/index.php
for all the details on the installation. It took us about 2 hours.

With the 2" I had a 3000lb boat hooked up and it rode completely level.
