Great kit for my 2015 Ford F150

Easy to install with the help of a mechanically tuned brother and YouTube. Tools needed: - Spring compressor (free at auto parts stores) - 18mm spanner - 27mm impact socket or socket wrench (to loosen lower arm nuts) - Pry bar (18" length is preferred) - Standard socket set - Impact wrench (makes a lot easier ) - torque wrench (used to tighten nuts to factory spec) - blue or red Loctite fasteners - other standard automotive tools (hammer, adjustable wrench, etc. Install the kit or your tires will wear out quickly and it's not safe) How As you can see from my photos, the 2.5" level kit helps your 2015-2018 F150 to clear 35" tires. I use these on my stock 17 inch rims. It required a little trimming of the front bumper and also remove the fenders. (The fairing was done at an auto shop, cost $160, only 2 hours labor with tire fitting.) Bought 35s, used, at CL and sold his other 265s. I still love my 35s. While tire noise is noticeable above 80 km/h, it's amazing. The purpose of the level kit and larger tires was to increase my truck and ride height. I live on a farm and need further permits. I also can't afford a full lift kit anytime soon, let alone pay hundreds of dollars to install it. So this was the cheaper route and it looks amazing! If you measure carefully, my rear end is still 1/4 inch lower than the front wheel, but that's because I have a tool box in the back and a 35-gallon external fuel tank. , so it makes sense that it wouldn't be 100% due to the weight in bed. But I'm satisfied. I highly recommend this set.
