I think 2" leveling with 17/18" wheels and 33" tires is the most proportioned, aggressive, stylish, practical upgrade on newer model F-150s.

[@phild9813]

Perhaps a “miss” in the practical category, but I prefer what you said plus narrower 35” tires like the 285/75r18. I like all the clearance I can get for the off roading I do, but don’t want the various penalties of a true full lift, so I go with the tallest tires possible with the smallest amount of lift/level.

[@BoopSnoot]

As an automotive engineer though, spending millions of dollars testing these vehicles under loads and on aerodynamics, it always surprises me how few people are curious why all the factory vehicles without exception come with a rake even if aesthetically people prefer a level look... we do that because it massively impacts the aerodynamics of the vehicle even when not under load (google why are all vehicles raked), and increases tow and cargo capacity on non-bagged vehicles.

[@Slayer-oq8fv]

Leveling reduces you chances of an accurate alignment, increases tire wear,strut failer,get mechanics in trouble for a come backs that out of their hands. Been working as an ASE tech for 25 yrs and happens 50 times a week, and what happens then extremely great techs get burn and quit mechanicing then your community has shops full of inexperience techs. Get a lift kit because it moves everything down you keep you factory spring rate and loose no alignment adjustments. Remember this quote if you have a leveling kit your mechanic wants you DEAD. I have run community meetings with over 500 techs and every single tech has the same thought. Your leveling kit is ruining your community's techs reputation. Think about it. Tech are not aloud to speek about this because shop owners have a stupid saying. The customer is always right. And I have a come back for that saying. If the customer was right he would an ASE cert and would be working in the stall next to me. Leveling kits should be illegal.

I completely disagree I think it's ugly trucks are supposed to have a rake. if you level it out it just makes it obvious that you're never going to use your truck for doing truck things like hauling or pulling. It looks like it's either broken or somebody messed something up.

[@evanbaldwin4952]

Great video! I’ve had both a leveling kit and lift kit on my ‘11 F150 Lariat 4x4. I will say though, before buying my leveling kit 2 years ago, I was told by the shop I would be able to go to 35 inch tires with minimal scrubbing. Despite what they said, I went with 33 inch federals on 20 inch Fuels (-24 offset) just to avoid rubbing altogether, so I thought. Even with the 33’s and 2 1/2 inch leveling kit, my truck scrubbed BAD. I mean even 1/2 turn to either side was brutal. I had to do major trimming around the scrubbing locations on my fender liner and it fixed the problem mostly. Just be aware different trucks/setups will not be the same...

Great post. I was in hopes that you would give information on towing capability or towing changes. Keep the post coming. Thank you

[@BreckoniousMaximus]

I just made a post with how a level/lift will affect towing. Basically, your axle ratio will change which will lower how much you can tow significantly, especially if you throw 35's on. If you did a level with stock tire size, then the only change will be how much your rear end sags when hooked up to a trailer and gas mileage. I would definitely purchase rear airbags if you plan on towing with a leveling kit....well...I'd put airbags on period with a leveling kit, towing or not. If you use a WDH to tow with, the level will throw that off a bit without airbags to level it out. Hope this helps and good luck sir.

[@PeacemakerPL]

2.5 inch front level with 2inch rear, on 35’s or 37’s with fiberwerx fenders and bedsides will make literally any truck look sick for under 3 grand and will still perform similar to stock, while allowing you to overcome any offroad obstacle other than insane rock climbing

[@outdoorsanythingbonelli9318]

Would love to see a comparison for lifts such as stock vs 4 inch lift with 35's, stock vs 6 inch lift with 35's and then 4 inch vs 6 inch lift with 35's. To see a comparison to see what size lift id like to get in the future.

Best comment on here. I'm getting ready to do the same ,2" rc leveling with air bags in coil . I want to pull my 12' trailer with a 800lbs harley to Colorado and unhook and still be able to hit some trails in the mountains with my 05 Trailblazer

[@gaknskk]

Did ya stay with the stock size tires as well ?

[@2009mechanic]

Yes , I'm still running stock tires with mine as it sits pretty close to stock height anyway except for the front. All it is is a 1 inch thick spacer that goes between the bottom front strut lower mount and the lower control arm. It pushes the front end up enought to keep that small lower plastic air dam from getting smoked on a curb as you pull up to it. There are the other ones that are just a plastic ring the goes between the TOP of the strut and its mount. I have NOT tried these . I'm concerned it would add extra play between the top of the strut mount that has a bearing in it and the frame mount. There is a LOT of potential for failure at that point I think. I could be wrong. Even this simple little modification DOES change your front end alignment ,A LOT ,SO HAVE YOUR APPOINTMENT MADE BEFORE YOU DO THE INSTALL AND DRIVE THE TRUCK AROUND UNLESS YOU LIKE BUYING TIRES.

My humble $0.02 : I have a 2019 w/ the FX4 and Max-Tow pkg, 20" stock rims, and was able to fit 34" tires STOCK. The key is metric vs standard tires sizes. Metric tires are narrower, therefore less chance of rubbing. I've installed 275/65 R20s (stock tires were 275/55 R20) Pirelli Scorpion, All-Terrain Plus. The metric measurement translates to 34.1" by 10.8" R20. NO LEVELING KIT NEEDED. Tires clear at full lock, no rubbing. You can find a couple of KZbin videos and posts in F150 forums on this tire size. I may level it in the future, but right now it looks fine and the tires do not poke, look nice and flush. Cheers!

Put on some 35s with an 18in wheel and then it just depends on what I'm doing. If I'm towing all time I wouldn't get either kit and if I'm heading off road all the time I wouldn't use a truck so I guess if I was doing a little bit of everything I'd go for the leveling kit.

i want level with the wide stance bigger wheels

[@nelsontrick5660]

idea, buy a power wagon or raptor. off road ready and engineered from factory correctly with the suspension and angles for the drive shaft and axles...

Josh is looking just as adorable as he wants too! That truck wasn’t behind him, it was towering over him like whoa...lol

I have a 3” RC lift kit on my 07 Avey LT. It does wear down your other suspension components a lot quicker, mainly bushings. I’ve thought about removing it and going back to stock.

Real simple to calibrate the headlights yet you've never taken the time even though you've had people complain that you are blinding them? Nice.

Wish I could afford it right now, but I'd get the 6" lifted truck!

[@justinberry8796]

Thank this actually really help me.

[@kendus01]

Answered my question perfectly!

[@MJ-fj9yv]

Absolutely informative videos, good job guys. After watching the subpar quality and lack of any real brand benefits from your clips, i made a great decision and BOUGHT A TUNDRA!

[@jimmendez3510]

After the leveling kit is installed, what is the difference in the quality of the ride? Does it drive as smooth as the non modified suspension?

[@geographyinaction7814]

Levelling kits essentially lift the front end with no appreciable difference in handling. What will adjust your ride, tracking, and handling, is the larger tires that you use.

My RAM 2500 has a 2.75" Thuren leveling kit and 37" tires. Not super tall but extremely capable. my leveling kit is not done with spacers, but with new coils and shocks.

[@tylermanley5262]

Love the look of the leveled truck with the stock wheels. Just wish the factory wheel finish was more durable.
