I have ~4000 miles on the RC 2.5" level (really only raises her 2") with a lot of mountain rough road miles.
I will have to measure her to see if she has sunk any.
EDIT: Had a spare minute. Went down and measured the front. NO SAG. Measurements are identical. Remember she's a RCSB, so she weighs a good bit less than the longer wheel base rigs. Perhaps the lesser weight puts less stress on the truck's suspension.

Are those powder coated wheels? Painted? I saw you have 34" tires, 2.5 level but you mentioned you didnt get a full 2.5. also that you could run larger tires....Could a 1.5 level run 34's?

Absolutely love them! Aggressive looking but not over done. No detectable road noise. Do way better in snow and mud than the stock ones. Ride is slightly harder but after airing down a bit it's not noticeable. Couldn't be happier. Think the measure 33.9 X11.6 but you'll have to double check that
what PSI are you running on them? I've lowered mine a bit.

My wheels are from Ford Racing.

The Rough Country 2.5 gave me 2" of lift. I've heard that they have changed the description to 2.0 because of that.
I would think that a true 1.5" would handle 34" tires but I don't really know. I can ask my 4x4 guy who does a lot of special lifts and such. Don't forget the wheel off-set will make a difference, so it depends on your wheels too.

So I installed a 1.5" Motofab level on my '16 F150 FX4, and I forgot to measure before/after, I feel like my truck sits as level/high as many people running 2 or 2.5" levels. Not knowing how my truck stacks up against others that have 2"+ levels is making it hard for me to gauge how larger tires will look on my truck. I see a lot of 2.5" levels with 35's that look incredible, but i'm not sure how they would look/fit on mine. I have 275/60/20 KO2 which are supposed to be 33", but in reality are measuring out to 32.2" tall on my wheels (20x9.5).
I measured the distance from the ground to the top center of my wheel arch, and found my rear is 40.25" tall, the front is 39.75" tall.
I'm hoping some leveled folks here could measure their trucks in the same location and report back?

I was looking at BFG KO2's - 305/65/18's with Fuel Couplers with either a -12 offset which would bring it out 2.8 inches from the suspension and frame according to tiresize.com or 20 inch rim with a +1 offest on 305/55/20's. Just not sure which because I do not want to trim or get rid of the crash bar. I heard that spreading was possibility but that would have to be seen.
Wondering if anyone had either of these set ups on the XLT 15 and up?

Hey guys, maybe some of you can answer a quick question or two for me...
I have a 17 Screw with a 6.5' bed. Want to put a level, rims and tires on. Thinking about going with 18x9 rims, with a +1 offset, with 305/65r18's. Do you think I will have any issues with rubbing? I don't want to cut crash bars or anything like that, but if someone has advice I'll take it! Haven't decided on how big of a level I will go yet either so if you have input there, sweet!
Thanks
