Leveling kit installed

Well I got my leveling kit in today. I ended up going with the 3 inch up front. Turned out really good I think. Looks sweet. Im just waiting for my add a leaf. They should be here tomorrow. So that will go in. I dont think the CV shaft is at a real bad angle. Dont look much worse than the 2.5 pics i have seen. Tell me what you think.

I didnt do it before I installed it. I did it a few months ago and I wana say the front was at 37.5 and now its at 40.5 and the back is at 39.75 I believe. I think it looks pretty close to what you got. It dont look like its bad enough to really worry about. At least I dont think. The back sits down a little bit but will be fixed tomorrow when the add a leaf arrives. Ya I didnt relize my dog was in there till after I posted the pics. Thanks

what is really funny is that your truck looks lifted

I personally would have slapped 35" tires on there, but the 33" tires do look rather nice

Ya Im thinking about putting 35's on later but as of right now my 33 dont even have 10000 miles on them so it would be pointless. Im not sure though I dont wana kill the gas mileage anymore than what I have. We will see though

you truck looks mint, i was gonna go with 35's but was leaning towards 33 there's a truck in town that has 33 with a leveling kit and it looks good, but that truck has pizza cutters on it so i wondered how it would look 12.5 wide. I'm going to go with a 33 12.5 thanks for the pics. do you happen to remember the width, back spacing or offset for your rims? or are they standard classic II's for our trucks?

thanks. I wish it was mint. There are a few scratches and a small dent in the tailgate just below the f150 badge. I need a paintless dent removal guy to look at it. I love my 33/12.50 I just got the whole leveling kit done last night which now includes the add a leaf. pics tomorrow hopefully. But there is so much extra space looks like I need to go bigger but dont really wana lol. I just ordered the standard 17x9 rim cassic II rims. I believe thats what it was on the 6x135 bolt pattern. I think thats what it was to. Sorry its been awhile since I ordered them and its late. But I didnt need any special stuff. They just asked what it was going on to make sure that they had the right bolt pattern and stuff. I got them from a dealer in ohio to got me a really good deal on the tires and rims mounted and balanced and shipped to more door 3 days later. 1580 shipped to the door. Places here in michigan wanted 2000 they said the tires were almost 1200. I laughed and told them I can get them in ohio shipped to me for 500 cheaper and they laughed at me. O well see whos laughing now
