| I can get a 2" lift kit for my 09 F150? I've looked around and all I fucking see are goddamn leveling kits. I don't want a fucking leveling kit. |

it is a leveling kit.
a leveling kit puts a spacer on top of the coil over raising it 1-2.5" depending on the kit. It is a suspension lift. Then if you like you can use blocks or AAl in the rear to correct the ride hight the lowest suspension lift for a 4x4 f-150 your going to find is 4" and they run around 1400$ a 2" combination front and rear kit you can probably get for 2-400$ edit: i run a 2.5" front and 1.5" out back and i run 35x12.50's on my 05' f-150 |

I want enough but not too much. I'm just looking for a little more ground clearance. |

You need to go to 4" then. If got a leveling kit on my '10 F-150 looks much better. Quoted:

If got a leveling kit on my '10 F-150 looks much better. A number of people on f150 forum say you don't want to do a leveling kit as it fucks with vehicle geometry and handling characteristics. I also plan on putting in a rear sway bar. |

your axle is in the same place
but they are full of shit, i have run my 2.5" level for years(since 09) with no issues. DO NOT GO OVER 2.5", then you start pushing geometry. It seems the happy medium is about 2" on a leveling kit. Another option wich functions the same as a level is to use coil overs, rancho i believe makes an adjustable set. |

I have the Rancho Quicklift front coilovers with the rear shocks on my 04 4x4. It definitely caused issued with the geometry and I had to put a camber adjustment kit on the front. Be sure to do this along with an alignment, and you'll be good to go. |
