I’m planning to install one soon. How did you find the time needed for the install? I have just weekends available.
Good call! I would rather let professionals handle the alignment if something feels off. Did you notice any significant change in handling?
Yes, handling is a bit different but nothing drastic. Just a little more body roll. It’s manageable though, especially if you’re just driving around. I love the look though!
What about the exhaust interference? I heard some kits might cause issues. Any worries about clearance with the exhaust system?
Great point! I had to slightly modify my exhaust hangers to prevent some rattling after the install. Just be ready for some minor adjustments.
That sounds a bit tricky! Have you noticed any changes in performance since the kit was installed?

Honestly, I haven’t noticed much performance change. It’s mainly cosmetic for me, but handling can feel a bit tighter in gravel or off-road situations.
Thinking about upgrading shocks as well. What are you guys using after your leveling kits? Any recommendations?
I went with Bilstein 5100s, and they have been fantastic! The ride comfort is way better than stock. Highly recommend them.
Those are a great option! Have you experienced any durability issues, or do they hold up well over time?
So far, so good! They’ve held up for about a year with regular off-roading. Just make sure to maintain them—regular checks help a lot.

Why is it that everyone seems to love leveling kits? We have to draw the line somewhere! My buddy’s truck is starting to look like a monster truck!

Haha, I get that! But hey, it’s all about preferences. As long as you’re happy with it, that’s what matters!
I’m also looking at leveling kits for my F-150! I’ve heard they can really improve ride quality on rough terrain. Has anyone experienced that?

Absolutely! A good leveling kit can enhance the suspension, which leads to better handling and a smoother ride, especially off-road.
I installed a leveling kit on my 2014 F-150, and it feels like a different truck now! The steering response is much sharper too.
Yes! That’s a big plus. A leveling kit can really change how the truck handles, especially when turning.

What brands do you guys recommend? I’m looking for one that provides a good balance between performance and comfort.
If you want quality, check out Bilstein or Fox. They have great kits that improve both handling and ride quality without sacrificing comfort.
Thanks for the tips! Any opinions on the Rough Country kits? I’ve seen them getting some mixed reviews.
