What is the Difference Between Ford F-150 Lift Kits and F-150 Leveling Kits?

First off, let’s address the primary use of a lift or leveling kit. These kits increase ground clearance by rising the chassis of your truck up and away of its axles. Doing this allows your truck to handle much more smoothly on rough terrain and gives it a sturdier ride feel on Perry streets. But if Ford F-150 lift kits and F-150 leveling kits serve the same essential purpose, why do you have two different options? Let’s explore the differences between both types of kits below:

  • F-150 Leveling Kit: This kit will allow you to raise the ground clearance of your Ford F-150 by between 1.5 and 2.5 inches. You can achieve stock-style stances with leveling kits by putting a rear lift block on your rear leaf springs. This allows you to install larger tires for light off-roading and improved towing stability.
  • F-150 Lift Kits: A leveling kit can raise your ground clearance by between 3 and 12 inches, so you can install 35-inch+ tires. We recommend lift kits if you regularly do heavy-duty off-roading, and drive in thick mud, sand, or snow.

Price & Installation Ford F-150 Leveling Kits vs. Life Kits

Leveling kits cost between $100 and $250 and are easy to install. In fact, you can usually install them with hand tools. Lift kits, however, need to be professionally installed, and can run from between $1,000 and $4,000 if you include labor costs.
