Default Need a few opinions/bits of advice level and coilovers

So I am planning getting 295/70-18 Stt Pros or maybe STT Maxxs, jury is still out next month or so.

I had the dealership install a level when I bought my truck, looks to be 1-1/2" level.

I want to install 3" coilovers set At about 2.5" with a 3" block and shocks in rear( F150lifts boss), but with baby one on the way, that is getting pushed back, so are the 4.10 gears.

My question, should I do something like an RC 2.5" lift ( take advantage of the rear add on block and stiffer rear shocks) or a 2" front 3" rear AS set up, to get a little more lift out of my truck for the tires, and just wait until o need new ball joints, to replace the shocks?

What do you guys suggest?


One happy guy here, except my truck fund just took a big hit lol.

I'd run the new tires with the 1.5" level and trim if needed. You may not have to trim at all. You're running them on stock wheels correct?

I'm running 275/65r20's(34.07" tall and 10.83" wide) on the fx4 20's with 1.5" of lift and I don't rub at all.

I agree with Silk...test fit one tire on the front first if possible. You may be OK at that height. Congrats on the first Bambino also!!

I would leave it for now and get the gears and coilovers when you can. I'm running 295/79/17 on a 17x9 -06 offset and 4.10 gears and they are perfect. I had a 2" level spacer and a week ago put on the icon stage 2. I kick myself for not doing that to start with, no comparison in ride on and off-road.
