Is it me or does the 2016 F150 Brochure show the truck to be level?

 

Of course they show them leveled. They look better that way!

 

Nope I didn't have to trim my studs for the Platinum wheels. Although, I've read that the 2018+ 18" sport wheels have ONE pocket that isn't as deep as the rest and might cause interference. But you have 20's so you should be fine.(might not hurt to just double check all depths are the same)
I've run spacers on a bunch of stuff to get aftermarket fitment with stock wheels, with no issues.

With 35's and spacers...you might rub the crash bars, I've posted it before...but the "claw hammer crash bar adjustment method" https://www.f150forum.com/f118/fixed...360363/index2/ might be enough, or you might have to spread them with port-a-power.

 

Installed my Ranch Quick Lift struts today. Looks like I'll need rear blocks as I doubt the front will settle that much. I plan on keeping the stock wheels, just need to decide on tires.

 

Do you have a lot of weight in the back? I've got the same coilovers, and mine only came up 2.5"

 

Thanks for the feedback!
Hopefully this week my wheel spacers show up so I can get those 35's stuffed in there..
I've got 3" blocks on the bench for the rear if I feel like she needs a boost in the rear..
🙏? I really hoping the 1.25" spacers don't cause rub anything..
I was rub free without them aside from the upper control arm..
I just added camber nuts and aligned the truck ahead of this tire swap..
I'll be spreading the crash bars with the hammer trick to nudge them over as you and a few others have linked..
Once I tighten them back up from the hammer "nudge", I may still spread them at the ends, I'm hoping to pick up about 1/2 more clearance per crash bar for a generous tire egress.
I will document this all soon and I will post the results with pics and measures....
Thanks to a few of you guys I'm pretty confident that the 1.25" spacer will perfect..

 

The ARE CX series weighs around 175#. All I have in the back right now is a small toolbox and about 20 gallons of gas in cans.

 

I know it doesn't take much on a 150 to make it sag, but geez. How much rake do you have, and how big a block do you think you'll use?

 

I just measured it and the front is about 1.75" higher. I ordered 3" rear blocks so when the fronts settle in it should be close to level. Rears shocks and blocks should be here Thursday, but I doubt the weather will cooperate (I can't jack up my truck in the garage). I got lucky yesterday and had a nice 62° February day here in southern Ohio.

 

That oughta work, gives you some rake back if it settles. Photos when you get the block in?
62, nice, won't be until April for me.
