Lift Kits vs. Levelling Kits: Ride Quality & Ground Clearance
F-150 lift and levelling kits are used to give your pickup truck greater ground clearance and make room for larger tires. In order to accomplish this, the truck's body needs to be raised further from the axles. There are some differences between the two kits in terms of how they'll affect the performance and utility of your F-150:
- F-150 Levelling Kit: You can raise the front end of your F-150 by about 1.5 to 2.5 inches with a front leveling kit. Stock-style stances can be achieved by placing a rear lift block on the rear leaf springs for a small height increase at all four points. You can also install slightly larger tires-about 33 inches in diameter. Levelling kits are best for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading.Â
- F-150 Lift Kits: One of these kits will allow you to lift your F-150's ground clearance at all four corners by 3 to 12 inches, and will give you the ability to install 35+-inch tires. If serious off-roading outside of Southey is your goal, this is the right choice for you. Lift kits are best for mud, sand, snow, and heavy-duty off-roading.Â
Lift Kits vs. Levelling Kits: Price & Installation
An F-150 levelling kit will cost you less than one of the Ford F-150 lift kits. Typically, a levelling kit runs somewhere around $100 to $250, while a lift kit will cost from $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the ride quality and height you want. Levelling kits are easier to install, and usually will only require hand tools. Professional installation is recommended for a lift or block kit, and will require an alignment once the kit has been installed.
