Hey everybody, I'm Justin with americantrucks.com, and welcome to our best of video for the leveling
kit category available for you 2009 to 2014 F-150.
Now the purpose of this video is to give you our top three choices currently on the site,
combining customer popularity along with my own personal feedback as well, to help you
narrow down your choices a little bit more, get that front end up a little higher, and
get some bigger tires under your rig.
But why go with a leveling kit in the first place?
Well, leveling your truck, as a name implies, is the act of raising only the front end anywhere
from one and a half to three inches using a strut spacer design, and that's gonna do
two things for you and your rig.
First and foremost, it's going to eliminate that factory rake which is the look of the
front end being a little bit lower than the rear.
Secondly, leveling kits will be far more affordable than a full-blown suspension lift kit which
can involve many more parts and some permanent modification to your truck.
That's not the case here with these leveling kits.
These things are completely reversible, super easy to install, and very affordable overall.
Now, I do wanna point out that all three of my selections in this video will fit both
two and four-wheel drive trucks, but that's not gonna be the case with every kit in the
category.
So just double-check fitment before pulling the trigger on a system for your truck.
Without further ado, what do you say we jump into my picks?
My first choice goes to the Rough Country two-inch leveling kit, which according to
the company, will allow for up to a 35 by twelve and a half-inch tire as long as you
stick to a stock or similar offset.
Now, this Rough Country two inch leveling kit is by far and away the most popular in
the category currently here on the site, and like other kits, is pretty simple by design.
And what I mean by that is you're essentially receiving a pair of strut extensions that
are going to bolt to the top of your factory strut assembly, giving you that additional
altitude for the front end.
And in the Rough Country's case, those strut extensions will be constructed from high-quality
6061 billet aluminum and will, of course, include all of the hardware needed for the
installation, and by the way, backed by a lifetime warranty.
All of this for right around a hundred bucks makes the two-inch Rough Country kit one of
the most affordable on the site in addition to being one of the most popular as well.
But what if you crave a little bit more altitude?
Well, for that I really like the Max Trac two and a half-inch leveling kit, which the
company claims will allow you to run a 33 by twelve and a half-inch tire.
Now, I will admit that it is a bit odd that even with the extra half-inch, Max Trac does
recommend a smaller tire than the two-inch Rough Country kit, but honestly, I like that
because you are ultimately gonna be getting a little bit more breathing room when sticking
to a 33 by twelve and half for truck owners out there who might be doing a little off-roading
or wheeling, and not have to worry about a rubbing a 35 with a small level.
Now, just like the Rough Country kit, Max Trac will also be very popular on the site,
in addition to being very affordable at just north of a hundred bucks.
Also, like the Rough Country kit, the Max Trac will also feature a very simple design,
including their strut spacer, this time obviously measuring two and a half inches, giving you
that additional boost over the two-inch kit.
Now, Max Trac does incorporate a powder-coated, laser-cut steel for their spacer which as
you can see has been finished off in that gunmetal or gray coating which will add some
durability and prevent any possible corrosion over the years.
But if you should encounter any issues, Max Trac does have your back with a solid lifetime
warranty.
But moving onward and upward to my third and final pick which is the Mammoth three-inch
leveling kit.
Now, the Mammoth kit and it's higher altitude will allow for up to a 35-inch tall tire with,
again, a stock or similar offset or a 33-inch tire with plenty of room to spare.
Now, three inches tends to be the max height in the land of strut spacer style leveling
kits which is what we are focusing in on for the purposes of this video here today.
And due to the height of this kit and the angle it puts your CVs, I really recommend
the three-inch kit for a two-wheel drive truck or four-wheel drive owners who spend most,
if not all, of their time on the road.
Now, I say that because hardcore wheeling and adding a bigger heavier wheel and tire
combo will definitely put some added stress on those CVs at this height.
So again, if you do plan on doing some hardcore wheeling or off-roading, I would recommend
sticking to a two or two and a half-inch leveling kit if you are gonna go with a more affordable
spacer option.
But with that said, if you do decide to go with the Mammoth three-inch kit, here is what
you can expect.
Laser-cut steel spacer made in the USA and then finally finished off in that hammer tone
powder coat to help reduce any corrosion.
Now just like our two previous kits, the Mammoth will also include all of your necessary hardware
for a relatively easy install with no cutting or permanent modification needed.
Well, guys, that's gonna wrap up our best of video for the leveling kit category, again,
available for your 2009 to 2014 F-150.
I hope I helped you narrow down your choices a little bit more within the category, but
if you still wanna browse a little bit, feel free to check out the rest of our selection

In the meantime, I'm Justin.
