I have been rolling around the idea of putting a level lift on my '15 Lariat Screw 4x4. It is 100% stock so far. I regularly tow a 6x12 enclosed trailer with my motorcycle in it, which I would say weighs somewhere in the neighborhood of 2,000-2,500 lbs when loaded. MY question is what should I be concerned with if I were to do a 2" level. I don't really want to be rolling down the road with my nose in the air while towing... I've never had a lifted truck before so I'm a bit ignorant here.

 

If you tow you may want to spend an additional 80 bucks and get rear blocks, but if you do this you wont get a "level" look you will just have a truck that is 2 inches higher on all corners. If you want the level look but would still like to tow you need to look into getting a set of air bags for the back of the truck. Even if you dont get a 2 inch lift for the front of the truck if you tow more than 10 times a year I would be looking into the bags anyways...

 

Good info. Thanks.

 

if you're only towing 2000-2500 lbs thats only 250 pounds of tongue weight which wont really sag the back end too much. You may want to go with like a 2" or 1.5" level instead of 2.5".

 

Next time I tow everything I'll measure the sag. 2" level is what I had been thinking. I've looked at some air bags since the first response and that looks like a good way to go if I do a level.

 

I tow a 3500# boat about twice a month. I measured mine and decided to go with a 2" level. Haven't done it yet but that will give me a .5" rake and sit pretty level when towing.

 

If you go with a true level kit, you'll want air bags in the rear to keep it from sagging with a load hooked up. On my last truck, I went with the 2.5 level lift kit from Rough Country which also included taller rear blocks. Truck still had some rake in it but was overall higher.

 

Not a lot of experience here but about a year ago installed a 2" auto spring on the front with (no change) stock block on the back. Truck sits great for everyday driving. But with a sled in the back or towing a boat... it sags enough for me to notice. So I just installed the Air Lift Ride Control (airbags) yesterday. They were pretty easy to install and don't seem to effect the rear suspension with 3-5psi. I only installed them yesterday so I haven't had any loads in the truck yet.

One note: Some guys on here posted that they installed the Air Ride 5000 and said it wast way to stiff and/or the bumpstop in the bags was affecting the rear suspension. The Ride control is only rated to 2000 pounds and seems like a better match to the F-150. Again no expert here... just what I heard.

 

Just my experience. Towed a 16ft enclosed trailer from Jacksonville FL to Buffalo, and here is what it looked like. 2.5" level (front only) with 285/75 18 Toyo RT. Also, I got 13.1 mpg average for the trip.

 

get the air lift ride control bags and you can level it out when needed.
