Leveling Kit vs. Suspension Lift | Which is Best?

What happens when you tow?

Where is the plastic boot for your upper ball joint???

I’m sure your off-road capabilities are much improved with the ICON lift but how has the lift affected your ride on the highway?

Thank you for your videos. I have no idea what's on my 2013 FX4 Off Road with 35's on it. I know everything about my car but clueless on this used truck I bought in 2018. I've only found one place here willing to look at it since it start bouncing a bit. It's an off road garage. The setup looks weird but it rode like a dream. Can you tell what I have by looking at a vague video? I have an appointment on Monday and worried what I'm in for. It has FOX shocks on back.

You plow through mud holes?

Where did the rubber boot on the upper ball joint go?

Did you install yourself? How long did it take, and did you have to recalibrate speedometer?

but can you jump it like a Raptor?

Great video brother.

if you have a 4" drop kit, does that mean you also need to add 4" spacer on the strut?

just bought a Fox 2.0 suspension kit with Grimm UCAs. It will level out the truck with a 2" lift in the front. Although, now I'm thinking of going to 4". If I were to go with a 4" lift later can I still use the Fox suspension?

$650 to have a 2.5" installed. $450 labor for a $200 part.... what a rip.

I don't want a lift I want to level and lower my mom had a stroke I need to figure a way to help her get in for passenger and be a driver we are daily drivers in snow country with many many potholes . Thanks for your help

Thanks for the explanation, do you know if I also have to put an increase in the stabilizer bar if I am only going to leveling?

Awesome video!
Thank you!

Close your eyes and Raymond ramono is teaching you

Wife and baby can get in their own car 😜

Not all leveling kits are just spacers.

Is it possible to do a or 3 inch suspension lift and keep the same rims and tires. I figured 3 inch suspension lift in the front and 2 inch lift in the back. We have a 2019 SLT GMC Sierra 4WD V8 5.3L crew cab. I thought of spacers, but don’t want to do that because it can ruin ball joints down the road. I rather improve on the suspension because we take it off the road occasionally. We go on dirt roads that’s on BLM land. Sometimes these dirt roads are kinda smooth and sometimes bumpy.

I have a 2019 Ford F-150 xlt 4x4 8cly..daily driver..15000 miles...No off roading ..front sit 2” lower than rear ..want to level truck ..front and back same ...keeping stock rims and tires..what do you suggest I use to do this ... thanks

Simple explained, thanks.

I want to raise my 2014 Ram 1500 Longhorn (Non-air-ride) 3 inches in the front and 1 inch in the rear. I am putting an all-weather tire on it,
NOT a Terrian or mud tire. Similar to my Wrangler SRA's. highway tire.

How can I keep my factory ride, I hear from many folks ride is much
worse. Is it the spaces giving the bad ride cause new geometry? or the
Tires they put on? or both.

Any help would be appreciated.

What's it normally cost to have a suspension system installed by a service center?

I did 1” blocks on my tacoma n i didnt like the ride quality it was hard... So I switch to leaf spring n a much better ride .. Hopefully you did the same thing as i did... Add a leaf spring.

Why not add another leaf for more height in rear and increased towing and payload capacity?

I have 2016 f150 crew cab. I want to add a leveling kit 2” or 2.5 not sure. Will I be able to fit 33” or 34” tires? I’m gonna be using factory 20” rims

What size of lift is it ?

Mines got 1.5" lifted coil springs Bec I have a plow hitch

Thinking about the Ford performance Fox level lift for my 2020 Ranger XLT. It comes with Fox coilovers and rear shocks and adds a couple inches up front. It's a factory lift and is warrantied. Just trying to decide if it's worth the money.

Really good info, just one caviot. The front is lower and the rear is higher because if you end up towing... the rear will lower and become level with the front end. If you use a leveling kit and then tow... the rear will become lower and the front will point toward the sky. Just a correction, not a gripe.

i own 2015 f150 fx4 i used 1 1/2 level kit put 33 inch tires , make sure you adjust your head lights after

Any way one could compress the coil spring enough to add say 1.5 leveling kit.

How much is it going to cost to add the spacer. IE price of spacer and cost of labour

Question I’m just looking to level my 2020 Tacoma trd 4x4 the Dealer suggested 2 inch in front . Or 3 1 kit. I seen a guy same truck he said he has a 3 2 looks nice said it was easy to do kinda leaning towards that. But Toyota said 3 1 would look better any suggestions? First lift for me and really looking or best look?

Nice info, I've been running spacers for 3 years, finally over the spring slap from uppers. Picked up Freedom Offroad loaded 3" struts, and uppers. Putting on today... We will see if 35x12.50r20's 0 offset still hop on trail without rubbing... ;)

Will I get hate from the 4x4 community for leveling my 2wd?

Very clear and to the point fam

Thinking about a 4inch bds lift, to fit bigger tires wanted to know your opinion on how you think it will handle bumps ? I have a 2017 f250 and it dont at handle bumps all that good now.

So what is better for dayly driving leveling kit or litf kit?

I eat my pussy with a fork

Hey another great video! I was looking to get the icon setup like yours from stage3motors for my 2016 F150. Does the icon make the ride stiffer or softer on potholes or uneven pavement? Also how does it effect cornering on off highway ramps?

Good vid

I think I'll just lower the back. I hate lifted trucks. Had one Never again

I have a daily driver that's not lifted or leveled that I tow my new monster 20in lifted single cab 92 f250. Up here in Healy AK we have ruts bigger then a Kia Sophia

You sound like Ray Romano

This guy sounds like Ramon Romano from 'everybody loves Raymond'

Your video really help me with my decision for a lift on my tundra, i’m not going off-roading so I think to save money an to just get the 4x4 look an keep my factory ride i’m better off with a 3” spacer leveling kit an bring my rear end up an 1” an I’ll be happy...thanks for the good advice

Yes, I'll make sure to not buy a suspension.

Hey thanks paul

the front being lower than the rear is so it sits flat when towing im pretty sure
