Leveling kit - Handling change
"04 F-150 SCab 5.4L 4X4 w/ 6.5' bed.
I just installed a 2.5" Top Gun strut extension. Looks better than I expected, substantial change in handling though. I am waiting for my Firestone air bags, hope it restores some of the firmness to the steering. Anybody got any suggestions. BTW - Aftermarket 20" x 9" with Michelin LTX 275/60/20's(stand 33.5").
Thanks in advance from Tennessee

Sure. Took it to my tire shop first thing. It was extremely sensitive (toe-in) on the way to the shop. Much better on the way home. I knew that there would be some change with the kit. Will probably take some getting use to. I am very sensitive to any changes. My wife hates to ride with me because I notice every imperfection.

I think your right on the weight distribution concept. I have a "full bed" pullout tool box that weighs about 275 lbs empty. That is why I am looking forward to the arrival and subsequent install of my air bags. I think that once I throw some of the weight back onto the front, things should be closer to "normal." BTW - what is -- and what reference do you use to determine "level?"
Thanks for the input guys. I am a newbie, can't tell you how much I appreciate all the help.
