What is the proper way to go without issues? Which previous year kits fit the new model? I have 33 inch tires with 18's I want to put on it.

What setup are you guys running (leveling kits only please) ?

Thanks in advance and pointers will be appreciated.
I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit on my 2007 F-150 with 35 inch Nitto Trail grappler on a 17 inch wheel. I had the fenders cut to fit the 35s and not rub at full turn but I have had the 2.5 inch leveling kit for over 4 years now and haven't had any problems.

Just got done installing 1.5" Bora wheel spacers and Falken Wild Peaks 275/70R18's. Sure did change the look when those Michelin street tire came off.

So it seems that a 2.5 front lift will work without rear modification? I need to eliminate the slight rub that I have at full lock while in reverse and deep compression.

is there any rubbing? Did you have to do any mods, trimming, removal of crash bars etc? I’m looking at getting a similar setup on my 2018 F150 XLT sport edition with 20x10 -18mm offset with nitto ridge grapplers 295/60/r20. Thanks

Any help would be much appreciated!

I have a 2018 F150 XLT sport edition super crew 2WD with 2” RC (puck extender) level kit. I’m looking at adding a 20” wheel aftermarket (Fuel Vapor D560) 20x10 -18mm offset for a little staggered (poking out) look wrapped with nitto ridge grapplers 295/60/r20 or 295/55/r20. I want to make sure one of these will fit without any mods, trimming, rubbing, etc. With no clearance issues in the wells. Prefer the 295/60/r20 but can settle with the 295/55 if it will work with no issues and the 295/60 won’t work. If both will work than great. Any advice will greatly be appreciated!

Default Halo BOSS coilovers


Pulled the trigger on the Halo BOSS coilovers and rear shocks. Wanted to post some quick pics for anyone considering them. The ride quality is great and firmer (in a good way) than stock without being harsh at all. The larger E rated tires do make the ride a bit stiffer, but I don’t mind it personally.

Front: Halo BOSS coil overs set at 2.75”
Rear: Halo BOSS rear shocks and 2.5” block
(this came out good for me with some rake retained as I tow ocassionally and like the look of a slight rake)
Wheels: stock 20’s (+44 offset)
Tires: 35x11.50x20 Ridge Grapplers

No rubbing at all (plastic or otherwise).

Truck looks great! I have the same truck/same wheels and am about the pull the trigger on the same set up. Trying to decide between 285/65r20 or 35x11.50. Do you think anything would rub if 1.50 wheel spacers were added?
