2011 & up SUPER DUTY Leveling Kit Installation

I wanted to level out the front of my 2011 f250. This is one brand of the numerous coil spring spacers commonly available for less than $75. I followed the manufacturer's step by step instructions and show them here. The total install took me about an hour. I'm not sure if the f350s and 450's would be the same?
Overall I am satisfied with the end results. It did level my truck, however with the 1.5" spacer I only show about 1" of lift as you can see here. The lift in no way noticeably affected my steering or braking. I was able to squeeze a little more brake line slack than what was shown in the video. After the truck was back on the ground I worked on the slack to make sure I had enough. Whenever performing any suspension modifications always use proper torque specs and BE SURE TO GET AN ALIGNMENT UPON COMPLETION! Thanks for watching!
These are the steps that worked for me, I'm not a professional and am in no way claiming to be the authority on suspension mods so follow at your own risk! Always practice proper safety, use the proper tools and use common sense!

Thanks for taking the time to share this with us! I just bought an 11 that is low in the front and will likely do as you did. Thanks for the help!

Great video! It is generally recommended that suspension bolts be tightened to spec with the wheels on the ground...

Great comment

[@jessicav2510]

you make it look so easy

[@Norsegod127]

Where did you place your floor jack? On the diff or in the middle of the axle??

[@robolyn]

Have a question for you if you have the time, I just completed the install on my 2006 for a 2" Sinister kit. My brake line bracket hold s the line in 2 spots making a 90 degree turn. Is there a method to open these to feed a little more slack through without damaging the brake lines? For now I put a slight bend in the bracket so the lines don't rub anywhere through the turning cycle but would rather add about a 1/2" of slack to them. Great video truck looks good

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

TBH I didnt need to add any slack on mine so I didnt pay much attention to the brackets. I just watched my video and cant really tell if there is a way to feed more line through. Is there a time/scene in this video where you can see the bracket you're referring to?

[@jamesfrantz6085]

Excuse me,but why aren't all these trucks being leveled at the factory. I Mean I see all these people on you tube doing videos .Why can't Automaker's come up with a level truck?

[@SeanBrennan007]

Agree. The 2020's have a shorter block in the rear now as compared to a 2019 for example. This is with an F350 I should mention. So the rear sits a tad lower which in turn levels things out a bit more.

[@martinfrankiewicz7820]

Because when men load the beds full of weight or tow, they leveling out. If they were leveling from factory , theyd squat under load. duh.

Bien muy bien Pascual

[@tommycoyle4475]

Very helpful thanks for the video. Did you just take the wheel off for the video? Can you do this with the front wheels on?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

It would be much harder with the wheels on

[@David-hh7nc]

I just measured mine the way you measured yours and mine sits at 42 inches I have the snow plow package I guess I don’t need a leveling kit it’s a 2019 250 super duty

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

I wonder if the 2019's all sit taller?

[@David-hh7nc]

UnitedStatesofBuild I don’t know but I’m going to find another one at a dealership and measure it because I was shocked

[@ItMeZumn]

Thanks for the video

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

You bet

[@fmichael616]

If you don’t mind me asking how’s it holding up now

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

everything is cherry. I did add f350 blocks to the rear BC I was getting headlights flashed at me when towing heavy loads 🙄

[@codymlebo]

Could you tell me the height of your rear fender wells compared to the front ?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

I did a how-to on adding f350 rear blocks and I think I have the measurement near the beginning of the video

[@ItMeZumn]

What about a 2wd front

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Im not sure.

[@-StrengthPhysicalTherapy]

so if that is a 1.5" front leveling kit why did it only add 1" of height

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

That's a good question for the manufacturer. If I was going to blame it on anything it would be on tired springs (215k miles) but a 1.5" spacer should raise you 1.5" no matter the spring wear, right?

[@mkbmj]

That spacer looks shady as shit. Shy not just get a new coil spring?

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

New coils is an option. It should be noted that 'new coils' are more commonly known as a 'lift kit' and no one sells a lift kit for less than $50 (price of spacers). If a front lift spacer isnt your cup of tea then by all means price shop for a lift. But if your going to lift it 1" then maybe just go to 4", it'll look better :) only a few $hundred& more. If your going to lift it then you may as well throw some rims on, the shop will give you a package discount. They might even throw in a 6" exhaust tip. Anyways, thanks for stopping by! check out some of the other super duty how-to's PS The spacer has been golden, for me, prob wont work for you though. But def get that truck leveled out, they look goofy factory raked.

[@mkbmj]

I should clarify. Most of the spacer lifts I see have a tapered bottom block, which looks like it follows the factory shape. This one looks like a bump stop spacer. I have no doubt that all of these have a place, but at first glance, it makes me a little queasy; probably because I do not have the same level of comfort with a lifted vehicle that you do. I have always used leaf springs and replacement coils. Like you, I do not want to put a $2,000 lift kit and have to go buy a ton of new parts when all I want to do is level it.

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

Yeh I dont know about all that stuff, I do know that at 2:40 you can clearly see a taper on this spacer, I know its worked well so far. Thanks for the input!

[@craigthompson1052]

Does this style require an alignment after?
