Anything else i should consider? Thanks.
From what I've read on this forum, contacting custom offsets and talking to shops, no. You'd have to go up to a 4" or bigger lift with differential drop brackets.

Reading through all of this does make me wonder, why Ford doesn't make the trucks come out Level, from the factory!

285/60/r20 Toyo Open Country AT II Extreme with a 2 inch rough country leveling kit. No rubbing. No cutting. Looks perfect. Just had it done today.

Great looking truck! I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing white F-150s, they look really sharp. I wish I'd bought that color!

Thank you, Its 4wd. All OEM before the kit.
RC kit does include new upper control arms. Rides well but bangs a little going over speed bumps. Will likely switch the front to coil overs so I can push it a little harder. Looking for something that will work well at 3 inches because I really like the height.

What option would that be? I'll take the Manly truck with rake that will actually haul and tow or the Pavement Princess Leveled Truck.

I am brand new to this forum and have a question about a leveling kit/ tires. I just ordered the RC 2" leveling kit for my 2016 FX4 and I really want to run 33/12.50R20 on my stock rims. Will I have any problems? I originally ordered a 2.5" level but started reading about people having problems with their front end when using a 2.5" level so I dropped down to a 2". Any suggestions/ pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yes, you can run 33x12.5r20 tires with a 2 inch leveling kit and stock tires. That's what Rough Country recommends. Please see the link below.

I just put the same one on my 2019 FX4 and I'm running 285/60/r20 tires. That equals out to be a 33.5x11.5r20 tire. No issues.
