Do you know if the add a leaf would make the ride suck. I would think if it's only one maybe it would be that bad

Not sure to tell you the truth. There are a lot of guys on the 2004 - 2008 F150 part of this site that have done it. You could go on there and ask some questions. I wish I could help you more but I just don't know.

a add a leaf can make the ride a little stiffer
if you want the ride to stay 100 % like it is buy a one peice rear that will lift the truck one inch
also remember that most larger tires are 10plys so a bit stiffer ride may be notice in the end but its still going to ride good, no worse than a f-250

Did you measure yours before starting and are you sure you didn't use a 2.5" kit? I know AS sells one. Also, did you align your truck after the install? This can make a difference as well.

Is your truck a 4x2? I have a 2010 4x2 and I've measured mine and the rear sits exactly 2" higher than the front. I'm thinking of putting the 2" AS kit on mine.

I measured but I really didn't take an exact measurement I remember thinking 2" so I ordered the 2" kit cause they said that it would still have some rack I can send you some pics if you would like so you would see what it looks like. I'll try to get them in my gallery

It was pretty easy took about a hour the only trouble we had was the driver side we had to get a big bar and pry down on the lower strut bracket.

Thanks, The more I look at it, it looks pretty even (even though it's 7/16 higher)I was thinking of trying to get a 1 1/2" block for the back so the back would be alittle higher but I think I'll let it sit and try to find some 275/70R18's for it.
