How much lift do these give in the front on a 15-16 f150?

When I was on the Rancho site and looking at reviews I believe they said max is 2 inches which should get the truck level. I think I also read there is a loss of .25-.50" when the coils settle. Regarding installation... the reviews were saying a couple of hours for the both rears and possibly an hour for each front max. So probably 3.5-4 hours. Up here that's a $350-$400. One last thought, one of the reviews asked the question which is the best way to go after hearing so much about the Quick Lifts vs. going with Fox 2.0's. The response from Stage3 was that the Quick Lifts rears can be a pain dialing in if you are going on and off road on a regular basis. If not using off road the response was "they should be ok". Hoped for better than that. Personally I just want a 2" level that has a ride equal to or better than factory and will not ruin my front end components. The Fox 2.0 set up is double the cost of the Quick Lifts.

You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm not sure what to do. My truck has the FX4 package so I hate to ditch the new shocks but the Rough Country set up seems nice as well. I want my truck to look good but ride the same and I don't want to wear anything out. Who has just the spacers up front and are completely happy with just that? Who has the Rough set up with the rear shocks?

That's why I went the Motofab route this time (had Bilstein 5100 on last truck), to utilize my new FX4 shocks/struts. 2". The ride hasn't changed but the looks and ground clearance have. I'm completely happy and when it comes time for new shocks then I'll look at getting back into a Bilstein 5100 type setup:

Do you have any rubbing with your tire size? I really like your truck stance.

If I do the Ranchos up front but I still want to raise the rear an inch or two, what is the best option for that? Add-a-leaf, shock...? Never done this before thanks for any help. I want more ground clearance in the front AND rear.

No rub at all and no modifications required. I'm not the only one running this combo (without wheel spacers) and there's plenty of room full steering lock forward and reverse. Zero rubbing.
