    Leveling

    Hey! What's the reason why Ford sells 4x4 F150 that's not level to ground. We need to add 2.5" leveling to make it level? There must be a reason. I googled it up. Lack of information. Thanks.

    so when you load the bed or put a trailer on it they don't squat. Plain and simple

    Also better gas milage. They cut through the air better when the nose is dropped a little. Every little bit helps with the cafe standards.

    They come with the rake so the can do there job as a truck. Payload and towing. And it won't look like a bulldog. Not that that is a bad thing

    Why not leave frame at level and do the wedge job on grill and hood. That way I'll have my bed at level. It will looks better that way.

    Because to do it the way that they currently are. Is they most effective way to build a truck. Being level is a personal touch. It's simply cosmetic. It does nothing for the trucks capabilities.
    It also stimulates that after market world for the "few" that want there trucks level. It all boils down to personal opinion.

    Lol yes few. Just sayin. Where I am? You either lift it or lower it. Trying to find a happy medium in a level has never interested me. My opinion only. And the trucks around here are about the same. Every once in a while u see that bulldog looking truck and u say ewww. Level kit. But there are people out there that love it. More power to em

    I just think the rake looks better than level. My opinion. Only time you should b level is when u have a load on. (Payload) for the technical. If u have a level kit and throw something in the back. Your squatting. Kinda takes the tuff look right out of your truck
    Like I said. My opinion. To each there own

    5Star tuned.....
