F-150 Leveling Kits vs. Lift Kits: Ride Quality & Ground Clearance
Lift kits and leveling kits are used to give trucks greater ground clearance, as well as make room for larger tires, by raising the truck's body up away from the axles. However, there are a few differences between these two types of kits, and how they'll affect your Ford truck's performance and utility:
- F-150 Leveling Kit: A front leveling kit can lift the front of your F-150 by about 1.5 to 2.5 inches. You can still achieve a stock-style stance by placing a rear lift block on the rear leaf springs, then install tires up to 33 inches in diameter. Leveling kits are best for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading.Â
- F-150 Lift Kit: On the other hand, a lift kit will raise your F-150's ground clearance by 3 to 12 inches on all four corners, plus allow for 35-inch-diameter tires and bigger-perfect for off-roading! Lift kits are best for mud, sand, snow, and heavy-duty off-roading.Â
Ford F-150 Lift Kits vs. Leveling Kits: Price & Installation
Because they do less, leveling kits are less expensive than lift kits. Typically, you can expect to pay a couple hundred bucks for a leveling kit. If you're lifting your Ford truck, though, you'll need a bit more coin-between $1,000 to $4,000 or more, depending on the height and ride quality. Either way, professional installation is a good idea, and it's best to get your tires aligned afterward.
