No issues at all with the coils or the alignment. I've put 15k since the install and haven't had any issues

I wanted to keep a clean/flush look (not too wide). I basically wanted to keep as close to the stock stance as possible. It’s just my preferred look. I also did not want to do any cutting, trimming etc. On my previous truck (2010 F150) I had 285/65/20 on stock rims. And loved it. I thought that was my plan on this one but decided on custom wheels and then went with the 275/65/20. (A little smaller than the 285/65). I am 100% happy and definitely don’t feel I needed the 285/65/20. (Side note: If I stuck with factory wheels, I would have probably preferred 285/65/20)

Anyway, I did a ton of research for this truck and never found exactly what I was looking for but I am very happy with how it all turned out.

I have always been diehard BFG but went with the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and also very happy with them. I swear they are wider than the same size BFG but the specs say otherwise. I was worried I would think the tires look too narrow but they are way beefier than I was expecting. Very happy. (Maybe they look wider because of the 9” Fuel wheel whereas a stock wheel is 8.5”???..I think??) I park next to a truck running the same size BFG on stock wheels and the BFGs look way more narrow. Crazy. Anyway... this is what I did:

Pro Comp 2.5” leveling kit
Fuel Couplers 20x9 with +20 offset
Nitto Ridge Grapplers 275/65/20

I put a RC 2" leveling kit on my 2018 and afterwards it seems like my headlights are now pointing too high. I've looked in the manual on how to lower them but it didn't say which way to turn the screw to lower them. Does anyone have any experience with that? Thank you.

It's a 50/50 shot. Park your truck in front of a building at night, and turn the screw one way. If the light starts going up, then turn the screw in the other direction.

That was my thought too. Just thought I'd ask.
