Yeah, shop said it was dead level without the rear blocks.

 

2019 F-150 FX4
2” level in front
Fuel Contra 20x9 +20 offset
Nitto Terra Grapplers 275/65R20. 34.1X10.8
Rear wheel well liners
front tint to match back glass

No rubbing or trimming required. 3/4” clearance at 3/4 turn. Front wheel well went from 37 1/8 to 40” exactly. Rear went from 40” to 41”. Tires are Flush to fender flair.
Hope this helps someone.

Stock day of purchase.



Back looks a little low due to slight hill. Back is 1” higher than front on level ground.

 

2018 3.5 Ecoboost, 5.5 ft bed, Bilstien 5100's at 1.75" setting, BFG 275/70/18's on Stock wheels. I have about 1" of rake which is perfect for me.

 

Looks awesome, more pictures!! I wonder about running 285/70R18 or 295/70R18, although they seem to really jump in price compared to 275/70R18.

 

This is the only other picture I have right now, but so far I'm really happy with the set up. Price, weight and winter traction were major reasons I didn't go bigger. We get a lot of snow where I live.

 

Bilstein 5100s on all four corners installed on my 2017 this weekend. Front set at the highest setting. My first time ever messing with suspension but I got it done. Only took about 14 hours lol. Wasn't sure if I wanted to go 2.5" spacer or 5100s. Very happy I went with the 5100s as the ride is much better. Nitto Ridge Grapplers coming soon.

 

2016 5.0
2.25" Ready Lift level
275/70/18 BFGs
1.25" spacers

 

That looks perfect! Exactly how I want mine. What kind of fuel mileage hit did you take?

 

Great thread, in looking at leveling my 17 screw FX4 5.0. I would not mind lifting but there are no true bolt on lift kits and im not looking to to any cutting or drop a trans-axle in my driveway!. With that said im looking at either coil overs or the spacer looking leveler things.... I am good either way I believe. It does seem that some are stating anything above 2.5 there are some CV angle issues, but not sure how solid those statements are, yet anyway.

I intend on keeping my stock rims and eventually putting the largest tire they will fit without rubbing.

I am okay with the stock suspension, it definitely does not ride like a Lincoln, but would be nice if I could soften it up a little, at least in the rear. Feels fine driving but hear nothing but complaints from those sitting in the back seat on how bumpy it feels..... (Dr Scholls for the the rears in the rear right? )

I thought I read the FX4 comes with AT tires but mine has radials on it, guessing previous owner swapped out before trading in. (no TPMS sensors on rims when I bought it, had to remind ford dealer about their lawsuit in the early 2000's to get them to put them on for free) those TPMS sensors probably when with the tires on whatever previous owner put them on.

GOALS:
level out ride height
possibly slightly higher stance
capability for larger cooler looking tires
keep stock rims
for rare occasions when I do find somewhere to go off road, acceptable comfort and handling
I do tow occasionally at varied weights, sure nose up issue would suck but I do it so rarely not sure its a huge factor.

So questions:

1. From where to where on front and same on rear do I measure from to determine my current measurements in end to order the correct height leveling kit?
2. with the spacer type will still be using same struts and shocks, so no real difference in ride comfort, how about coil overs? I am reading mixed stories about some riding rougher than stock. I am looking at ICON and BLISTEN any others I should look at?
3. spacer type... no idea which brand to go for, thinking 2.5 on front, but wont know until I have measurements I suppose. any reccomendations on which brands to seriously look at?

Thanks in advance.

 

Put on a 2” Rough Country level kit for now so I could get the larger wheels on it. I plan on doing Coilover level in the future but for now this will get the job done.
