Okay, so i bought my truck used, with a body lift (i was told 4 inch's by the salesman) and well today i was just looking at leveling kits.

My question is, how can i tell if my truck alread has one? what parts are fairly visable, or where can i measure, so i dont have to take anything apart to figure it out? it would be nice to get a few more inchs in the air without having to go the suspension route for the time being...
its pretty damn cold up here right now so i dont really want to get the creaper out and lay on my back for much longer then i need to.

thanks for any help.

Hi, if I'm not mistaken the newer f150 leveling kits just consist of spacers that go on the coil springs making them longer.

This is correct
Check for spacers on the top of the coil

Is the top of the Hood the same height as the top of the bed from the ground.

Notice how the front now is the same height as the back, that is the purpose of the Leveling kit. It is possible for your truck to have a 4" lift and no leveling kit. The leveling kit is actually a 2.5" increase in the rubber spacer at the top of the strut tower.

Also on average, how much lower is the front then the rear? and do you get spacers for both front and back?

 

[white4by4]

You only get them for the front.....2 1/2" spacers.

Thanx. Ive put about 30k on the truck sincie the install and the kit is holding up well.

 

[E36er]

if the leveling kits only come for the front, how did the rear get raised, or did u also get a kit for the rear?
