My 2015 Lifted Platinum

Very good look you created. Thought about raising the front also to eliminate some forward rake but wonder if it changes the headlamp alignment to the road. IE: Blinding oncoming traffic? Also, what made you decide on the Platinum over the King Ranch. Didn't much care for the Platinum until I came across yours. You have a great eye for clean simple upgrades that make it look smart rather than overdone.

I noticed you have an estimated Delivery Date of 2-22-15 for your truck. Is that an educated guess on your part or did Ford provide it? Reason I ask is mine I ordered on 12-03-14. I'm assuming I would expect to see it around a similar time as you but it has not been issued a VIN yet. It still shows order processing on Cotus.

Thank you for the compliment. I lifted the rear as well as the front. Even though the rake is less than stock, it's not enough to throw off the headlight level and affect oncoming traffic. I have not had anyone flash me either and they don't seem aimed high from driving position either. I chose the platinum over the KR because I found it to be classier. I also don't like 2 tone and the orange stitching and cowboy emblems on the interior of the KR. Just personal preference. Even if I waited another year or 2 to buy a truck, with the release of the raptor adding to the model range, I would still choose the platinum. This is a work/business truck for me and it needs to look professional.

Is there a reason you didn't go with the AS 2.5 again? I'm trying to decide what to put on the 2015 (I saw you are going with the coilovers now but I'm not sure I want/need that).

I've been running the AS 2.5/1.5 on my 2012 platinum too which is why I'm leaning that direction again.
Thanks - great taste as always!

Just for adjustability and more travel. Im looking to get more ride height up front and don't want the 2.5" kit to leave me with a height I don't want again. The ride with AS spacer is just fine. Problems with being a guinea pig
