Leveling my 04 F150

Hey, i'm new to the site and not really knowledgable about suspension and leveling. I am wondering what is the least exspensive thign to do to make my front end of my truck sit level with the back. I do not want to any major lifting just level the front. Thanks.

No prob. You'll like it once you get it on. Now stuff some bigger tires under there.

Best thing you can do to a '04 Lariat is level it and go with some taller tires. My truck sat real high in the rear stock, leveled it out over 3 yrs. ago and have had no problem's.

Is the Daystar a polyeurathane kit?

I put new tires on beginning of this week and i can really notice how low that front end is, now i wish i woulda leveled it before i order new tires. What size would i be able to put on it once i level it? Keeping in mind using my oem rims. I had 275/65/18 cooper stt's on it and now i put 285/75/18 BF AT KO's on. Wish i woulda went bigger .

Do you mean 285/65's? Actually that is a good size for a leveled truck. A 285/65 is almost a 33" tire. You can do a 35 on an oem rim, but I think it looks to stuffed.

In that case, you're set. It will look good. That means you have to blow some money on something other than tires...haha

Yes, your alignment will be off after installation. Also, the Daystar kit is now a metal and urethane combination. It used to be a two piece urethane spacer.
