Default Finally bought one!

Hey all, I joined the site a while back to do research before I bought anything and I finally pulled the trigger a week ago. I picked up a 2019 XLT FX4 with the 5.0 in magnetic gray. So now the work begins, plan on a 2" or 2 1/2" leveling kit, new rims and 33" tires, center console safe from Console Vault (already ordered), window tint and spray in bed linner.

I've been doing a lot of research here trying to decide what leveling kit to go with as far as height, I'll never tow anything and seldom haul anything in the back. My biggest concern with the 2 1/2" level is premature wear on other parts, some say it will happen some say it will be no issue......

Anyway, I plan on being much more active on the site now as far as posting since I now have my F150 and any advice or suggestions any of you have will be much appreciated!

Congrats and welcome! Just throwing this out there...you could always considering leveling by dropping the rear. It’s free or at least substantially cheaper than raising the front and will not cause any additional wear on front end components. Not for everyone I realize but it’s an option.

Thanks for the thought but I think for me this truck is only going in one direction ^^^!!
