Need some help on leveling kits.
Im trying to find out what works and what doesnt on the 09. For reference this is for a 4x4. I see some people list 2004-2009 while other people list 2009 separately. I have also seen them as cheap as $60 and as high as $250. Im confused so I am turning to FTE to see what everyone is using in the real world rather than just reading advertisements.
I appreciate as much info as you can provide. Thanks!!!

I highly recommend skyjacker, had in on a previous truck. Comes with all the brakets and everything.
Should also get a 1" add a leaf for the rear. This will make it level. 2 1/2" leveling kits does the trick.

On skyjacker's website they list everything from a 2" up to 6" for the 2004. For 2009 they only list 6" lifts.

Leveling kit fit the 2004-2009 truck
the only front suspension difference between your 2009 and a 04-08 is the lower control arm...which is steel now, vice the older ones with aluminum.
I suggest you get a 2" leveling kit...only get the 2.5" kit if you intend to install a AAL out back.
btw, Skyjacker and Readylift kits for the F-150 are a rip-off. You can get the same effect for well under 1/2 the price of those kits.
$60-70 shipped for a leveling kit is the going price
