Default 2" Leveling Kit With Stock FX4 20" Rims/Rubber?

So I just ordered a Pro Comp 2" Leveling Kit for my 2014 SCREW FX4 Short Box.

My intentions are to throw on some 20" Fuel/XD wheels and 33-34" Trail Grapplers, but the truck is brand new and I feel stupid not burning through the stock rubber first.

In the mean time I thought I'd leave the 20" wheels/rubber stock and just level it out. Will this look stupid?

I've searched the forum and can't find many pics. Can you guys post up some pics of other F150s, hopefully a few FX4s that are leveled without adding bigger rubber?

Here she is before leaving the lot.




Thanks!
Ryan

I don't think it will look bad. It's just 2 inches. Any higher and it may

Here's my '12 leveled with a 2 or 2.5", not sure which or what brand because it was already on the truck when I bought it from the dealer. First pic is stock rubber worn almost to indicators (about 34K)and second pic is with Atturo 35x12.50x20 Trail Blade M/T.

Silverlx - Nice truck man!

Would love to see a few more pics of other trucks. Preferably one with a stock bumper so I can get a good idea what the gap is going to look like.

Thanks again!

I currently have the 1.75 auto spring leveling kit with lift shackles on stock wheels and tires. I love it, but I will eventually get bigger tires. I'm keeping the stock wheels, I just got some 1.25 wheel spacers which will give the truck a wider stance. It didn't make sense for me to get new tires when the stocks have good thread. For now they will suffice.

i have the chrome clad 18's that come stock with the XLT chrome package. On there right now is some wrangler sa 275/65/18. I am selling them and picking up some firestone AT's that came stock on a buddy's Ram 2500.. the 275/65 is a 32. The 275/70 is a 33.2, which is exactly what I am looking for. I am having the 2" level put on this weekend as well. I think anything between 32-34 will fill the wheel well enough for what you are trying to accomplish

Sell the Pirellis on craigslist and get some beefy tires.
