I leveled my F250 a while back. After an alignment, she was good to go. I didn't notice any difference in ride or tire wear. The thing eats ball joints anyways. Rolling on 33/12.50 Dick Cepeks.

Haha.

I gain them back from the chicks when I roll into the ramp with a clean boat!

Sounds good and keeps my boat clean! Kept anyways....boat got sold.

I'm going to pull the bed and build a welding bed for it at some point.

Those 6.0's do sound good, I'll give you that part. And if you turn down your programmer, it'll keep whatever your pulling clean. My truck had stacks on it when I bought it...hated them! What kind of idiot puts duel stacks on an inline 6 anyways?

Much better without. To the OP, those are 315/70/17 that rub just a little at full crank. No leveling, stock on stock.

Put 2" taller tires on the low side....... rotflmao

Ahhh geez:smiley_clap:

Good looking ford JB, glad you ditched the stacks giles, that was hideous. I can understand a small stack for a normal guy that pulls his truck regularly. As a DD, fuck off and fold your damn mirrors in ya jackwagon.

As far as leveling, each vehicle is different. Solid axles can be done with taller coils, coil spacers (in-spring or top/bottom mounts), longer shackles for leaf springs, flipped brackets on leaf springs, add-a-leafs for leaf spring, blocks under leaf springs. IFS is longer arms, drop brackets for cross member, spring spacers (in-spring or top/bottom mounts), turned torsion bars, etc.. Just google your truck and you'll find kits from $100-1000, all depends on what you want to do.

I HATE the stupid Dodge fags that flip the mirrors up! That is so stupid, not like these trucks need to be any wider. The guy I bought the truck from used to it haul livestock. So it actually made sense for him to have a extra tall stack (kinda chilly up in AK most of the time, so these Cummins usually pump out some colors…). He was also a retired truck driver.

I think 2003 was the year of the switch from leaves to coils. Does yours have coils in the front? If so, leveling it is about $30 and three hours, then an alignment.
