Any of you guys put a leveling kit on your '15 F150s? I'm probably gonna buy a '15 soon and am trying to get some feedback to get accessories dialed.

Not a 15 and I'm not sure if the suspension has changed alot . I put an Autospring leveling kit on my wife's f150 . It wasn't a bad job,I had to get an alignment afterwards. I hate the way new trucks sit lower on the front end.

I do too. They all look like they just got rear-ended

I added a airbag kit to the rear as well for during the long drives with the sled in the back,all my trucks had such horrible steering on snowy roads when the ass end is squatted down.

Lower front end is supposed to be for easier access, getting in and out. Other than really old men, I don't see the purpose of it. Anyway, it's not a '15 F-150, but I installed one on my Ram 2500. It's really simple if you want to do it yourself. You can get all the specialty tools at O'Reilly's. You just pay a deposit and when you bring the tools back you get all your money back, so basically they loan them to you for free. Or you can keep the tools and they keep your money.

I am considering the 15 F250 Power Stroke. Anyone know anything about these having issues? I previously owned two Chevy Suburbans and now trading in a Yukon xl. I just need a pick up truck so bad because all I do is tow boats and other trailers about every day of the week as well as transport hay and produce weekly and would like to just throw it in the back sometimes. Of course taking the bikes and the boat on vacation is another reason. I was after the f150 until I saw some 250's with lifts and kits right from the dealership that I really liked.

Those F250s are badass! One of the best looking trucks made, IMO. I've tried to come up with so many reasons to get one but I really have no need for one. I hardly ever haul anything and when I do it's never anything major. I would still like to have one just for looks though, haha

Maybe you should buy something to put in the back so you have a reason to get the bigger truck. Ha.

My wife recently bought a F-150 and I like it as much as I like my Tundra. Although, if I had one of the newer Tundra's I think I'd like it better.

Those Amiri King videos are priceless.

A salesperson told me that they lower the front end to counter rear end weight of adding a trailer or load. . . I found that kinda retarded since most trucks don't haul a trailer or a load more often than hauling a load.

I've always had fords, but I almost bought a GMC last week. The dealer had a deal that was too good to pass up but when I got there to drive it of course, they "sold it yesterday." The ol' bait and switch. I wasn't at all surprised when he told me "well we have some real similar to it on the lot, they are about $9K more." I just turned around and walked out.

Hate cars salesmen and the games they play ! Don't blame you one bit. I would have done the same. I just bought a 2015 chevy 2500 crew cab duramax diesel 4X 4 LTZ loaded and I absolutely love the truck. Rides like a Cadillac.
Really liked the power and the interior. Good luck with your new rig whatever you end up with...

I have a 2014 F250 Power Stroke and so far love it. Of course it only has 22k miles so it's still almost new. The power is amazing and, like someone above said, probably the best looking truck on the road (my opinion of course). I also love the interior and can't believe how quiet it is while driving. Don't even know I am driving a diesel.

It seems a lot of people think that. I believe the rear tire/axle is a fulcrum and if the front sits lower it would do very little to counter the weight placed behind the rear tire/axle. The end result will be the same, both trucks will lose front axle weight, the only difference is the truck that normally sits level will look squatted, whereas the truck that has some rake in the front will look level, giving a false sense that the truck can "haul more."

I am not a huge fan of black rims but this is at the local dealer right now. If it is still there when I get back from my surf trip I might grab it.

Have you seen the truck that had the FMF silencer for the exhaust tip? I'll try to find the picture. If anyone has it, go ahead and post it up

I just picked up a '14 F150 a month or so ago. Had an '04 before that and they both sit about the same with the ass end up high. My new truck has the built in step which my old ass actually really likes. Now, when I hook my trailer up it sits very level. Smile

Mine is a 2010 and I wish I had gotten a 92 or something. The new computers and shit in them are so unreliable.

I'm on my fourth F350 powerstroke (2006, 2009, 2013). Picked up a 2015 two weeks ago. Two days later, it hailed and then hailed again the next day. Got a few dings to fix. Love the trucks though.
