I just purchased a 2015 F150 4x4 and am not a huge fan of the 2.5" rake on the front end of it. Can anybody recommend a shop that they have used to get a leveling kit installed in Houston? I'm lot looking for anything crazy or even to increase tire size. Just level it out. Thanks!

With a jack, jack stands and hand tools you should be able to do this yourself. It's pretty easy! Just get an alignment afterwards.

Bilstein 5100s at all four corners and a 6 pack and you can knock it out in any driveway.

Don't you need an alignment after the install?

Probably, buy you aren't changing any of the steering geometry.

I've been researching this as well. Most of the 'off road store' pricing is really high. I have had good luck calling around to mechanic shops that work on struts/springs and most of them will do it. You don't get any type of warranty if you buy the part yourself, but I would just search for mechanic shops in your area.

Bobby at Tech Auto does good work. He did the lift on two of my vehicles at a fair price.

Not sure where you are but Texas Offroad & Performance in Manvel just did my level, wheels, and tires and I'll definitely use them again if I need anything. Quick work and very reasonable on price.

Isnt the factory rake a safety design to help with weight distribution with a loaded bed or trailer?

partly, it also helps keep your headlights from aiming sky high when under load. It also helps with aerodynamics when unloaded, which helps with mpgs at highway speeds.
