Alright guys
A leveling kit is where I should aim at
I have seen way too many good reviews and leveled trucks to pass it up
But I think 500$ is just too much for that.

See I have no clue how to install one or anything so I have to have someone else do it for me.
But seriously 500$ for two inches leveled an an alignment
That must be about a big of a joke as the ford dealership trying to charge me 600$ for a new back glass.

To the OP, if you have to take it somewhere, hate to say it but $500 sounds about right. You will be looking at about $150 for the spacers would be my guess. Plus then $95/hr shop time for 3.5 hrs. That sounds about right. But for a 4" or 6" lift installed at a shop you will be looking at about $2000 for the kit and another $2000 in shop charges.

Yes we'll don't get mad at me guys but if my dad buys my truck I will go get a 4 door 4x4 with leather F150 or a base model crewmax tundra and trick it out myself. Only because the rountree ford dealership SUCKS in Shreveport

----------

Also I want a 97-03 model f150 ext cab or supercrew that I can trick out ya know
Like joes except I would lift it etc. lol

Guys lol its a leveling kit not suspension lift !! all a leveling kit has is ether plastic or metal spacers that go on the top of ur strut tower and u use ur same suspension! ! So if u want to pay the big dollars for spacers go ahead ! But u dont see them and u dont notice and different feel just a higher stance it does work and look great I have to say !!

I work for a custom truck accessory shop and the only leveling kit we deal with is ready lift. I've installed many customer supplied kits (i.e. cheap kits) but when it comes down to ease of installation I'd go with ready lift any day of the week. There a little more money but they are deff worth it.

I installed a ready lift in the front of my 06 in two hours I also had a heavy duty mechanic help but it was very easy

I am surely looking to get one but $500 is just too much. I really would love any information about leveling kits. I am hoping I can get one for $100-$200.

I live in SA, Texas and your product you are referring to is the one I have researched and like. Is there any way you could give me total cost to have one installed ? Also would you know where there is a dealer here where I live that could do this for me ?

A local tire and alignment shop quoted $300 complete out the door for a Rough Country leveling kit and front-end alignment.
