Default Leveling kit?

I know this has probably been talked about in length, but the search function on here sucks on my phone. What leveling kits are available for 2015 F150s? My buddy owns a shop and told me to stay away from rough country. I'm just looking to raise the front end a few inches. Ill be running 285/65/18 ko2 on my stock rims. Thanks

Did he provide details as to why the avoidance of RC? Many members here have put RC kits on their trucks without any issues. I have the 2.5 front and 1" block on the rear and haven't had any issues.

Question for all you experienced owners. I have a '16 on the way and will change to 275/70/18 tires which would not require a level. I do however want to reduce the rake. I will be towing a TT with #700 tounge weight. Anyone know how much that will lower the back of the truck? I dont want it to be higher in the front while I'm towing. Thanks

245/70/18 is what like 31"? that should be fine without, but if you want to get rid of the rake go for a small level.

And not sure why OP your buddy said stay away from Rough Country. Leveling kits are just blocks of Aluminum, and I have never heard of any of these Aluminum blocks breaking. I have the Rough Country kit on my 2012 and for the price ($99 for just front $199 for front and back) it's awesome! Many people run their larger 4-6" lifts with no problems either.

Just yesterday I installed a 2" leveling kit in my 2WD 2015. I got it off eBay from a company called Summit Performance (not to be confused with Summit Racing) for $40. I got the full 2" lift out of it. My stock wheels are 18x7.5 and my stock tires are 265/60/18s. I will be putting 18x9 wheels and 275/65/18 tires on my truck this coming weekend.

I thought that was a weird size lol 33" may or may not require trimming if left stock. Will definitely clear with a level. What I've heard from others is that larger tires really make the rake more obvious so if you plan on doing 33"s I would just go ahead and do the level anyway ( you know you want it! ;D )
