coilover level suggestions
I just bought a 2015 xlt sport 2.7 with 4wd I have been looking at coilover leveling kits (sub $1200) for the front and am still undecided. the reason I can choose is because most of the kits are made for 2014-2018 which means the spring rates will be different and be one stiff SOB because of the weight difference with the aluminum trucks and the 2.7 eb. the kit that has caught my attention the most is the Eibach pro truck lift because its made for the 15-18 so I'm assuming the spring rates will accommodate to the aluminum trucks. any suggestions? looking for a 2-3" in the front that rides nice and will do what I use my truck for which is pulling a boat and if I wanna bomb down some logging roads I can. I'm going to do fox 2.0 in the rear with a 2-3" block so I can maintain a little rake. THANKS!

Had a 14, 16 and now 18 F150.
14 had fox front and back
14 had fox front and back
16 had Halo front and back
18 has Bilsteins 6112 front, 5100 back.
Fox is a name brand, your paying more for a label than performance, they ride and handle good, not great.
Halo rides and handles great.
Bilsteins.. went off user reviews and saved 200 bucks. they are better than fox but not much.
that said my 20 will have Halo's front and back.
Mind you this is street and hwy performance, mild off roading. Fox and king are better mostly off-road. Eibach is a waste(on trucks, not street cars) so is rough country based on years of reading about them.

Read stage 3 Motorsports reveiw on fox vs Halo. If you don't like Halo due to stiff, leave the truck stock.. Halo is the best street ride... That's when boss was starting out though.. maybe they got better with time??
