Learn more about the different Ford F-150 lift kits and the F-150 leveling kits to see which one is the right option for your vehicle.

Ride Quality & Ground Clearance 

Ford F-150 lift kits and leveling kits are used to give your truck more ground clearance so there’s room to place larger tires. This is done by raising the truck’s body further from the axles. There are differences between the F-150 leveling kit and the lift kits when it comes to how they’ll affect the engine performance and utility:

• F-150 leveling kits allow you tolift the front of your F-150 by about 1.5 to 2.5 inches. Stock-style stances are achieved by placing a rear lift block on the rear leaf springs for a small height increase at all four points. You can install slightly larger tires — about 33 inches in diameter. Leveling kits are good for daily driving, towing, and light off-roading. 
• Ford F-150 lift kits will raise your F-150’s ground clearance at all four corners by 3 to 12 inches, so you can install 35+-inch tires. If you enjoy off-roading in the Logan area, this is the right choice for you. Lift kits are best for mud, sand, snow, and heavy-duty off-roading. 

Price & Installation

Leveling kits will cost less than lift kits and will cost between $100 and $250. If you’re going to lift your used Ford F-150 truck, you’ll spend around $1,000 to $4,000, depending on the ride height and quality you want. Visit a local American Fork service center for professional installation is not necessary if you’re using a lift or block kid, as well as an alignment after. Leveling kits are easy to install and typically require hand tools.
