You are correct. There is ZERO reason to do a level, except for the look. It looks better, and allows for a slightly larger tire which also looks better.
But the drawbacks are numerous. Less CV joint life, less fuel economy, nose sticking up when you haul/tow, stiffer ride, less shock downtravel, altered pinion angles, etc. Ford dialed these trucks in for the best performance, ride quality, and capability.
It really is a form vs. function question. There's no magic to it. Which is important to you?

Had this truck 6 months now and I finally like the way it looks!
