Ride Quality & Ground ClearanceÂ
What is the purpose of lift and leveling kits? They provide better ground clearance and ensure there's room for larger tires by raising the truck's body further from the axles. Explore the differences between lifting and leveling.
- Leveling: A front leveling kit allows you to lift the front of your F-150 by 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Installing a rear lift block on the rear leaf springs achieves a slight height increase in both front and back. This setup means you can opt for larger tires. Leveling kits prove best for daily driving around Cheektowaga, towing loads, and light off-roading trips.
- Lifting: Lift kits raise ground clearance at all four corners by anywhere from 3 to 12 inches, which allows for even larger tires. Lift kits prove best for heavy-duty off-roading, as well as heavy snow, sand, and mud.
Price & Installation
Deciding between lift kits and leveling kits depends on how you want to use your F-150, and how much you can afford to spend. Leveling kits, for example, are less expensive, costing somewhere between $100 to $250, and they're easy enough to install at home. Ford F-150 lift kits, on the other hand, will put you out anywhere between $1,000 and $4,000, depending on the ride quality and ground clearance you desire. They usually require professional installation.
