MotoFab Lifts F150-3F-2R 3 Front and 2 Rear Leveling lift kit for 2004-2014 Ford F150

I have a 2011 ecoboost F150 XLT 2WD. The front spacers were easy to install and I didn't have to loosen the main bolt on the lower control arm like most on youtube suggest. I just used a pry bar and I did the install by myself. I do recommend using an impact driver on the bottom bolt of the strut to make it much faster and easier. Otherwise, you may be there a while tugging at it and breaking a few wrenches in the process. I used an impact. On the frontend, the thing to remember to turn the strut the opposite direction (180 degrees ) when you reinstall it. The most difficult part was jacking up the rear-end in gravel to disconnect the axle to install the new blocks. If not careful the backend with slide around depending on how you jack it up. I had to resort to putting a jack on the hitch to stabilize it and adding a few other precautions and of course jacks on the axle itself. The U bolts were way too long, so I chose to cut them with a grinder at the end of the installation. After I was finished, I brought it straight to the tire shop and had new tires put on and an alignment done. You should always have an alignment done when braking down the suspension, especially when changing the whole geometry of it like with this kit.The drive is completely different mainly because I went with 305/55/20 from 265/70/18. I bought Falken WildPeaks AT3 and they have printed on the side 305/55/20 (33x12.50x20). However, these tires are about 34" in height and much taller and wider than the Firestone Destination MT2 (33x12.50x20) the tire shop had in stock. The ride is much stiffer with a slight bump in steering. Of course, it doesn't have the handling that it did with the street radial. With the street radials and the factory height, the truck handled more like a car and I would speed along old country roads more like I was driving car and now you have to show a little respect for the stiffer (more like truck ride and handling).I bought this kit because I would easily get stuck and now I can go places I wouldn't dare to go. The bigger more aggressive tires grip and the limited slip keeps one tire from digging itself a grave. I would get stuck carrying a load of anything across damp ground, connecting or pulling a trailer (camper or utility) in some places, and easily bottoming out when crossing road ways with a decent size transition. And yes, I use a leveling hitch. The hitch only get's it back level and not give the truck height it didn't have before.There are a few drawbacks, but it isn't caused by the lift kit. It is caused by the bigger tires. The speedometer is off, fuel economy will drop and you will feel a loss of power (depending on the tire size). The speedometer accuracy can be fixed with a performance tuner. The tuner will help with the loss of power and help get some fuel economy back. I cannot say exactly how much it helps because how I drive that day, the temp outside, what load I'm pulling all weigh on my average mpg. I just know it helps.Overall, I am happy with product. The product is made solid with all the hardware needed to install it. From start to finish, took me less than a day by myself. It made for a nice DIY project and allowed for much larger tires. In total with tires and leveling/lift kit, the truck is now 5.5" higher in the front and 4.5" taller in the back.

This leveling kit is perfect. It's simple and, if you have the right tools, easy to install.The quality of the kit is worth 5 stars. It's well made and solid material.I Do Not recommend installing anything like this kit unless you have All the proper tools. And if you are installing new rims/wheels, make sure you have the correct socket for the lug nuts with the after market rims. Also, an impact wrench will be extremely helpful, as long as it is powerful. And don't use it before you thread the nuts on by hand first.The main thing you need to know about this leveling kit is that you WILL NEED EXTENDED UPPER CONTROL ARMS if you have a 2012 F150 4wd on almost 34" tires. This kit doesn't tell you that you may need extended upper control arms. If you look at other kits, you might notice that some kits do come with upper control arms. Otherwise, your steering knuckle will rub on your front strut coils. Not fun.AND this company Is Not manufacturing/selling upper control arms yet, so you can't get these in a package deal (leveling kit and upper control arms). I spoke with a tech and they plan to start producing upper control arms soon.The kit did add a true 3" lift in the front and 2" in the rear. And it is level. There was no need for any trimming after installing 34" tires either.Great leveling kit. But make sure you don't need extended upper control arms.I added pictures of the before and both sides of the plastic that I cut. I rounded off the edges, but you can get an idea of how much plastic I had to cut so it wouldn’t rub in the front. I’d say about an inch and a half is how deep I had to cut in.EDIT: I finally broke down and put a full lift kit on my truck, 3 years after having the leveling kit. The leveling kit was cool for a little bit, until my left axle boot kept coming off, throwing grease everywhere. And the geometrics of the right axle was thrown off by the angle when I put new struts on the front of my truck. It ruined my front end. So I installed a lift kit and that took care of all my problems.The leveling kit was good for what it was initially, but I won’t be installing a leveling kit on my vehicles in the future.

Wanted to make this review to help anyone that has any questions or concerns that has the same truck as me. I installed this on a 2009 F150 lariat 2wdI’ve read on a few online forums about the 2009 and 2010 2wd models. They have different suspension than the 2011-upIn my particular case it didn’t level my truck, you can see in the picture the rear still sits about 1 or 2 inches higher than the front. I would recommend putting the 3 inches in the front before doing the rear to see if it levels out before putting those rear blocks on. In my case instead of a 2 inch rear I only needed a 1 inch rear block. Just measure the front and rear after putting on the front strut spacers. Also something to note, In my particular case my upper control arms were completely maxed out. So long story short I ended up doing 3 inch in the front and 1 inch in the rear. Just measure and see before installing the rear kit. Maybe it will save you some frustration
