i have ordered my 2" AS kit for my 2008 Screw XLT (780 miles!). Same color as yours but with lower color Pueblo Gold so now the wife can visualize what I am trying to accomplish! Can hardly wait to get it on.

Yes, I got my alignment done the next morning at Firestone. I went with the $149.99 lifetime alignment. I asked him what it would not cover and he said that for whatever reason I want it realigned it is free. I even asked it I put a suspension lift in the truck and he said yes even that. He also suggested that I bring it in at least once a year for an free alignment. Anyway, sorry for the rambling. Yes you must get your kit installed soon. You will love it and wonder why it took you so long to do it.

Yes I attempted to do it this past saturday, but was called out for other chores (x-mas shopping). i will however do it this weekend. Your truck looks awsome, im actually in the Milford area every Tuesday morning ( I deliver oil products from the louisville area) and always on the lookout for any 150's, so maybe ill get a peek at yours on the road sometime.

The end of that bolt is squared off - You can use a 10mm wrench to keep it from spinning.

Hey BlkButy,

Sorry it took me so long to reply to your post. Deer season in Kansas, you know. I am at about 160th and Brougham in Olathe. Did the pics in my album help you get an idea of what the 2" leveling kit will do? My truck is the 4X4, though.

hchays,

Nice looking truck! What % tint did you use? That is the next thing I want to add to mine.

Blkbuty,

Are you installing that yourself? I chickened out and had Olathe Ford put a Skyjacker kit on mine. I couldn't find somewhere close that installs leveling kits for a reasonable price.
