Life is good... I ordered this thing on friday and at 6 PM tuesday I have my lift installed and a set of 33's to go under them. What a difference. I noticed right away when I climed inside. Drives great!!!. I didnt get the alignment because of the time but I am taking back in tomorrow. Today is the first time in two years it hasnt shaked when I drove it over 40 MPH.

I had the Nitto Terra Grappler 325/60/18s put on there today. I had BGF Rugged Trail 275/65/18s on before the level kit was installed.

Pics posted in my gallery. Its been raining like crazy here so the trucks pretty messy. Still very happy with the lift. Hopefully it works out as well for you.

Hey guys,

Can you please give me some detailed info on how easy this leveling kit is to install? Im a good read the instruction mechanic but im just curious if this is to difficult for someone who has never worked on a lift kit before?

I really hate to take it to a shop just because i want everything done perfect and all torques reapplied correctly. Since I dont know anyone personally, I only have myself to trust to do the job right. So I would like to try it what do you all think?

Thanks,
Casey

I had the shop do mine that did the tires. I would have tried the install if I would have been patient enough to wait a few more days. You will need some Jack Stands and a floor jack. the kit comes with some detailed directions so there should not be anyproblems.

I used your link and purchased the kit for 06. they look good to me and a buddy of mine who put a leveling kit on his 04 thought it was nicer than the one he purchased for 130.00. He wished his kit did not require him to compress the springs. This is the first time I've owned an F150 and I love the truck(even if it is the base model). Hope I can count on you guys when I get ready to pick out tire/wheels, Toolboxes, T. Cover, Etc.

That's what I want my truck to look like! Are those twenties? Where can I find tires/Wheels like that? I got the windows tinted and a radio put in. Now I want to put a T. cover on it with maybe a black stealth toolbox. If those are twenties, did you have any adjustments or issues putting them on?

Thanks, I haven't seen alot of F150s(in this part of florida at least) with twenties and all the one I have were 4x4's. Some of my friends said it was no problem and other said I might have fitting problems or shift point issues if i went from 17's to twenties. I'll check out the site and thanks again.

They look like the same style that these people ---> www.truxxx.com use. They are a lot easier than the other leveling kits. We use Truxxx at our shop and have zero problems with them.
