Leveling Kit Examples and Advice
I recently bought a 2018 F150 XLT sport trim. I have had a big lifted truck for the last 8 years and want to keep this one clean and practical.
I was planning on just adding a leveling kit and then putting on some all-terrain tires on and calling it a day.
I'm debating on whether to do something in both the front and back or just the front. What size tires would fit while not looking too stuffed.
What are the performance negatives and potential risks of the different lifts?
Any advice is appreciated especially any example photos explaining what is being used and experience with it.

This thread might be of some help.

I haven't cruised through it myself.
I started by running a Google search for my truck "2017 f150 level kit" and checked Google images until I came across the look I was aiming for.
I will advise to take into consideration the tire construction (6 ply, 10 ply, etc.). I found a tire size that looked amazing on a leveled F150, but the cost of each tire (10 ply, very popular tire) was around $385 EACH. For a daily driver? Ouch.
I have the Bilstein 5100 leveling kit on mine (factory coils) and I'm very happy with it. This truck is my daily driver. I currently have 10 ply tires. The next set will be 6 ply. I rarely haul heavy loads or tow (camping gear, mountain bikes, etc.) and our roads are horrible. The cost is also a factor in my decision.
I don't have pics of my leveled truck yet for the forum. Gonna try to get them this weekend (after it gets a bath).
