Ford F-150 Lift Kits

If you’re looking to enhance your Ford F-150 pickup’s stance while increasing its off-road capabilities, it’s hard to beat the benefits of a leveling kit or lift kit. Not all leveling kits and lift kits are created equal. A well-engineered, properly installed lift kit can improve your truck’s handling and stability on the streets around Birmingham, as well as the trails out past the Centreville area. Learn more about the benefits and differences between Ford F-150 lift kits and leveling kits in this guide from the team at Tuscaloosa Ford!

Ride Quality & Ground Clearance 

Lift and leveling kits are used to increase a truck’s ground clearance by raising the truck’s body further from the axles, allowing larger tires. There are some differences between the two kits in terms of how they’ll affect the performance and utility of your Ford F-150: 

• Leveling: You can lift the front of your F-150 by about 1.5 to 2.5 inches with a front leveling kit. Adding rear lift blocks to the rear leaf springs provides a small increase in rear height for a stock-style stance. You can install slightly larger tires—about 33 inches in diameter. Ford F-150leveling kits are best for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading. 
• Lifting: One of these kits will raise the F-150 ground clearance at all four corners by 3 to 12 inches, allowing 35-inch tires or larger. If off-roading is one of your favorite pastimes, this is the right choice for you. Ford F-150 lift kits are best for mud, sand, snow, and heavy-duty off-roading. 

Price & Installation

Ford F-150 leveling kits are less expensive than lift kits. Typically, the cost falls somewhere between $100 and $250. If you’re lifting your Ford F-150 truck, you can expect to pay around $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the ride height you want. That said, rising global costs are likely to affect the price of lift and leveling kits, so get in touch with Tuscaloosa Ford’s parts department to get the most up-to-date pricing. 

As for installation, having a professional install your lift or block kit is usually necessary, especially if your truck needs an alignment afterward. Leveling kits are easy to install and usually only require hand tools.
