I just got an F-150 Regular Cab from my brother for 5,000 dollars. It's only got 75,000 miles and has power windows/locks.

The front end looks quite a bit lower than the back, and I want to level it out.

How much would this be/how could I get this done?
Afterwards how big of tires could I fit on it? (It has 17in aftermarket wheels)

Thanks Alot! If any of you have done a leveling kit please post a pic!

 

If it's a 4x4, all you have to do is crank up the torsion bars. If it's a 4x2, Daystar makes coilspring spacers for the front. How big of a tire you can fit depends on the width and backspacing of the wheels.

 

its only a 4x2 regular cab..

so if I get this daystar kit, how big of a tire could I fit?

 

I have the kit in my room. Im trying to figure out if I can do it or not...... It would be nice to find some directions with pictures!

 

You can fit 33's.

 

about to buy this kit also? do you have 2wd or 4wd, and are you gonna go with the 1" or 1.5"?

 

I have the 2wd. I bought the 1.5".

 

have you put it on yet? how much did you pay or have been quoted?

 

need some help here. i just got quoted over 600 for this installed.

heres the break down and i think im getting screwed.

45 for the kit
125 alignment
300 labor

he also said its recommended to get new shocks at 50 each
and said id need a cam set on the upper control arms to get the truck aligned

thinking this is mostly bs because a buddy got his 07 done for around 80 + parts

mines a 98 so idk it maybe different

 

ya dude 600 is so much..

I saw a 2 inch one for 120, and I was thinking about getting a steering stabilizer for 50 also.

I could find a legit shop I'm sure to do it for me.

 

i think im just gonna do it myself.
parts list
40 kit from amazon
40 coil spring compressor ( may or may not get)
25 tie rod fork
109 lifetime alignment ( brake check)

i still have to find out if i need the camber bolts but if i do ill just order them online and install them myself.

unless i do it myself ill be paying out the a** everywhere

I found mine online for 39 dollars.... O reillys has them for like 160 dollars. F that. I havent put it in yet. I want to but dont really know what Im getting myself into.

 

Oh and I got quoted 100 dollars to get it installed

 

yea i have a free trial of amazon prime so i get free two day shipping for 3 months and so its 40 bucks shipped.

i looked at it when i got home and took some picks of my 98 if you want i can post them. doesnt look too difficult. basically you remove the tire and brake caliper then the tie rod end and upper ball joint then with the lower control arm jacked up remove the nut holding the shock and spring then lower it slowly remove add the spacer and re-install.

all together the only tool i need to get is a tie rod fork

does this include the alignment? if so im coming to where your at to get it installed
