Pics to come when the icons come
I have a 2018 Limited in silver. I ordered a Icon 2.5” with resi front and back, Deaver +1 ( or I should maybe say plus 3...) and a set of Cali Offroad Busted matte black on Nitto RG. Pretty excited to see how this rides. It’s my first Ford but I’m happy so far.
What percentage of ride quality will I loose if I put those front Icons at 2.5” height ? I was really wanting to keep them stock height but now with the New read springs I’m worried it will be to racked out. Most I want is about a 1.5” rake
thanks for all the great info here everyone. It’s been a pleasure so sort through all the posts.

I have the Icon Stage 5 kits. Just got Deaver +2 in the mail and a bump stop kit. I did a thread on my Icon install....was pretty straight forward. I forget what I gained in terms of lift but I did not change the collar at all for any additional lift....meaning I still have the collar all the way to the top. I was waiting for my Deavers to come in before I set my front ride height. I have about 6k miles on the Icons and absolutely love them.

2in level 2wd
This is my 2018 with a 2in RC level up front and a stock rear end. I went with 275-70-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers on Method Mesh 18x9 +18 wheels. So far with just street driving I haven't noticed any rub.

Looks great = looks like the same offset/poke I have, but mine is supposedly 0 offset. I wonder if I got sold the wrong wheels...

Looks like the Halo is adjustable height, Rancho is adjustable ride. I'm probably leaning toward Rancho, because it already lifts the max that I want and I would like the ability to adjust dampening.

My new level and rim/tire setup...
Used this forum to figure out what would fit or not.. Took a lot of research, tire / rim sizes are no joke. This is my 2015 F-150 Crew-Cab Lariat 4x4 3.5 Ecoboost.
Leveled truck with the following: Boss Halo Lifts BOSS Ultimate 0-3" Coil over Lift Kit with 2.5" rear blocks. Adjusted coils to max 3" lift. Rides very nicely. Since i tow i also added the Air Lift ride control air spring kit.
Then bought Rims and tires. These are Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295-55-20, sits about 34" high. Barely any noise from tires when driving, i was surprised how quiet they are. Rims are 20" ion 134 Matte Black. these have 18 offset. I love the look as to how far they sit out, seems to be about an inch? didn't measure. Hope this helps others on picking out their set up? I have zero rub and i'm very happy with the set up.
