How big of a leveling kit?????

hi all. i just bought an 04 F150 FX4. ive alway been a chevy guy but a good deal popped up so i figure id give it a try. i love it so far. anyways i want to buy a leveling kit for it. what size would you guys suggest? i was thinkin a 2 inch. if got the stock size tire on it and i dont realy plan on putting bigger tires on it. i just want the front end off the ground.

2in with stock tires would be ok. i got 2.5 and 35s but the 2.5 would be a good idea due to if you change your mind you could run up to 35s without problems

I bought the Daystar 1" Front "Budget Boost" spacers for mine (PN KF09115BK). They were well priced (about $85) and the blocks themselves actually measure 1.5". Haven't got them in yet, but I wanted to keep just a liiiittttle of the factory rake in the event that I've got a load on, or am doing any towing.

I've found that completely leveled trucks start to look soft in the rear under hard acceleration, or when you're running around with anything but an empty box.

I doubt you'll get a set of 35's under the front with them, but that suits me just fine since my truck is mostly a pavement princess anyway.

my 2.5 was under $70 at hell bent steel . com and if you tow you can get a 1 or 1.5 rear leaf or block but unless you tow alot your fine with the level only.

I got the 1.5" Autospring leveling kit for my truck and I think it looks great. I tow quite a bit during the summer so I didn't want it to bulldog too much under load. With this it keeps a very slight rake unloaded and sits about level loaded. I paid around 80 bucks for it on Ebay and they get excellent reviews.

im thinking im gonna go with the 2in auto spring. i think if i go any higher it will look funny with the stock size tires. and i tow a 6x14 trailer with dirtbike about every other weekend so maybe it will look better then the 2.5. or i hope atleast.

off to start a thread about a sound when i let off the gas.

thanks everyone
