Default What Leveling kit are you running and why?

Hey guys, got my wheel setup sitting in the garage and expecting to get my truck by the end of the month. I ordered 35s with very little offset so I should clear easily with a 2-2.5" level kit.

I previously used a AutoSpring kit on my 07 and had a good experience. Im reading that readylift kit is a good one because it promises no strut to control arm rub. The price between to two is very different. There is also the Pro Comp kit that is a 2 piece system with a thin spacer up top and a spring "pre-load" spacer inside the strut assembly.

I also heard someone whisper about a Bilstein adjustable setup in development

Lets see what you guys are running and how they ride!

I'm running Rough Country 2.5 Mainly because of all the post since January none of the RC leveled trucks came out higher in the rear. Mine ended up 3/4" higher in the rear which is perfect for me. I also like the one piece aluminum spacer and the $95 price. Dealership agreed to install it for half price since I bought the truck thru them. $135 plus $49 for the alignment.

I'm running the Auto Spring 2 inch because so many others were running it with no trouble. My first time leveling a truck and man what a difference it makes....

The dealership I bought my truck at and installed the level highly recommended the 2.5" BDS level (rides very well). They do a lot of nice work with their customized f-150's so I did as they said!

I'm running Fox 2.0 Coilovers up front and stock block with Fox 2.0 shocks in the rear. Ride quality with the Fox's is night and day over factory. There is little to no rebound even on washboard roads. I know people who have the same set up as me running 35's without a problem. I haven't been able to convince the wife to let me dump money into new tires yet. So I can't speak from personal experience there.

I'm running the ReadyLift 2.25". I'm still a little tail-high. I think this truck sat 2.75"-3" high in the rear.





I know the risks of over-extending ball-joint/CV angles associated with spacer lifts (vs pre-load or coilover lifts) and that is a risk I am willing to take as opposed to any possible chance of a decrease in ride comfort. Even if I go with Bilstein 5100 struts or a coilover, I'll still put a small spacer on top to limit pre-load.

Im also running the ready lift 2.25 inch kit. I did lots of reading and comparing before picking one and just liked everything the ready lift kit offered. Really like the offset design and just felt like it was the way to go for the 2015s
