Thanks for the kind words, got the windows tinted and some AVS In-channel visors that I hope to comment on/post pictures of here soon.

So on to a topic that's been beaten to death probably, but I think it bears re-examination seeing as our trucks suspensions aren't quite the same.

https://www.f150forum.com/f7/leveling-kits-faq-87676/

A leveling kit/lift based on spacers would beat the hell out of last generations suspension if put through the numbers off-road.

Now I know that spacers aren't the most reliable lift you can put on a truck, but are the 15+'s less prone to ball-joint/bushing wear and tear since the suspension is more outboard? Or am I wrong (wouldn't be the first time)?

So I settled on wheels and tires, lift/level going in soon, thinking 2" front and 2" or 2.25" blocks in the rear, let's hear your opinions.

Stock wheels looked better.

I did 2.5" up front and 2.25" rear and I still have a decent amount of rake. I did 34" tires and I think it fills the wheel wells enough.

Maybe 2" up front and keep stock rear? There are tons of pictures of the various lifts around here.

In all honesty, if I could do it again I would have gone like 1.75" up front, 1.25" (stock) rear and 33" tires. I love the way my truck sits now but long term this set up would probably be better. Not to mention less strain on the drivetrain pushing bigger tires. I digress.
