Yes, a bit more info is needed, what wheels.
Anyway, with a 2.25" or 2.5" you can go with 315/70/17 with no mods or rubbing with OEM Raptors. Those are +34, a regular F150 wheel is +44. At any rate, a 34.5" tire works. Wouldn't hurt to stay with a 285 or 295 width with +44 wheels. That's a 2.5" lift on my truck.

How do you adjust them? Have to go to a shop/know what you're doing mechanically? Or is an easy process?

There are pins in each front strut you can raise or lower before installing. Adjusting the pins isn't hard, installingvthe strut takes the proper tools and spring compressors to remove your current coils and put them on the Bilsteins.

Question Truck height after leveling

After the full 2" leveling is done, is everyone still able to enter the standard 6'-6" underground parkades?

LOL, maybe if we want to do that we should lower instead of lift or level..... I was scraping them stock before I leveled...... not even going to try now

Interesting. At stock height, my 2019 Lariat 2.7L EB is fine entering my work's parkade which is limited to 6'-6".

stock im 2017 4wd 275/55/20. I could barely fit, antenna hit everywhere occasionally had the yellow pvc plastic height bars run along my roof. had to buff out yellow paint a couple of times from my roof. Now that I am leveled and moving to 275/65x20 Im not even going to try.

It also does not help I think the people hanging those height bars in some places were drunk, because no way are they at the advertised height in some places.
