Just purchased my 2012 Platinum 4x4 EB CPO this past Saturday and been loving this forum. Wanted to see what the Platinum owners feel is the best leveling spacers to put on it without affecting the ride. Also plan on getting a Bakflip Tonneau Cover for the bed. Thanks for any input regarding leveling my Platinum.

Leveling kits are a dime a dozen, ranging from less than $100 spacers, to $1200 coilover replacements. Personally I like the offerings from our vendor sponsor here, Alex [MENTION=156426]F150Lifts.com[/MENTION]. They have pretty much anything to get you setup. Alex is on a hunting trip and will be back on Wednesday, but I'd suggest hitting him up.
Here's their offerings for our rigs:

I built one on fords web site today im like most people not really feeling it but maybe in person I will like. One thing I did see as I built it the tow rating went down to 10,700 lb payload went up to 2,000 lb "Eco motor". my 2013 plat Eco is rated for 11,300 towing and 1,500 payload. I though with the new aluminum fram towing would of gone up too for the 2015

The Ford engineers designed it a certain way for a reason. No matter what you do, the front of your truck will sit nose high if you level it. I say leave it be...your truck looks awesome as it is.

I was referring to the simple leveling kits that are just bolt in type spacers. Those are not adjustable. Of course, if you spend the money on the bilstein setup, you can have it at any height you desire.

I just added another 1" of rake to my Platinum via in the install of the Roadmaster Active Suspension. I now have almost 2" from back to front. I'l be looking into some coilovers for the next upgrade to get back to about 0.5" of rake.
