I picked up a 2016 f-150 xlt sport 4x4 yesterday I want to get it leveled. What's the best leveling kit for this model truck? Is it better to go with coilovers or just a spacer?

Thanks!

I just installed rough country 2" level on my lariat sport. Looks good. Noticed that the ride got a little harsher/bouncier but I think that'll be the case with all of them

I'm waiting for Bilstein to release their 6112's for F150s. Those paired with 5165 rears seem like a sweet setup. Unfortunately, we've been waiting over 6 months for their release.

I installed an Icon coilover 2.5" kit. The ride and handling have both improved dramatically... Downside its not cheap...

I did the spacer route....auto spring 2 inch level for me. Rides the same as before. Just don't forget to get an alignment afterwards.

I did the Eibach Pro Truck Sport shocks to level the front of mine. Overall, I'm happy with them. The ride is firm and much more controlled than stock.

Does anyone have experience with the Fox 2.0 coilover kit?

Getting mine right now will let you know

I installed the Fox 2.0 coilovers recently, left at the 2" lift height from the factory. They provided a great improvement in appearance, ride smoothness, and cornering. At 2" lift on my 2016 F150 XLT FX4, the front is still 3/4" lower than rear, which I like. The struts have better damping so they removed some ride vibration felt in the seat and steering wheel on city streets and highways. The springs are stiffer, so they lessen the front of the truck rolling toward the outside in a turn - which makes the steering line more precise and predictable. I've got the newer ones with a nylon trim ring, so there is no added noise from them.


Not the cheapest solution, but well worth the money to me. And this is an improvement over already having the Fox 2.0 rear shocks and a Hellwig bar.
