Hey guys, I just traded my 2011 for a 2016 Supercrew Lariat 4x4. I want to get a leveling kit put on it but most of the places I've called around here only have a 2.5" kit available. The problem is I measured my truck and it's only got a 1 5/8" rake. I've got a 2.7L eco and a full 36gal tank and the truck only has ~40 miles on it but does that seem normal?

If I get a 2.5" level is the front going to be almost an inch higher than the back? Also, if I do get a kit that completely levels the truck out, will the rear sag anytime I'm hauling something in the bed? Thanks!

 

Congrats on the new F150. I have a '16 with the 2.7 and 36 gal tank also. I started with 1.75" rake and did the 2" rough country level kit. I'm about a 1/4" high in the front, but it's barely noticeable. If you're at 1 5/8", I would recommend you get a 1.5" level kit. I picked up some landscaping pavers last weekend and my tail was sagging, but hauling anything that heavy is pretty rare for me. You might look into rear air bags if you're going to haul all the time.

 

Thanks! Seems like we have very similar rakes, which is good to hear because I often see kits stating that you need 2.5" to level this truck. Seems like that's not always the case. If I go with a 1.5" kit, does anyone know if I can fit 285/65/20 KO2s on it? I've seen posts indicating that those tires will fit on a stock truck w/ no lift but it'd be nice to get confirmation that they'd work w/o rubbing with a 1.5" leveling kit.

 

ive got a 1.5 level and 285/70/17's on stock rims. 33" with no rubbing and normal mudflaps. with my 2.7eco it sits with 1/4" rake
