2018 with a 2 1/4 spacer up front, 2 1/4 rear block added. Halo lift. Level is perfect. I am running 285/55/20 Nitto Terra G2. No rubbing. I'm waiting on my 1.5 inch wheel spacer. Hoping there's no rubbing after install. So far so good. Very happy with the look.
2016 F150 FX4, 2.1” Bilstein 5100, 34.5” tires no rub
2016 F150 FX4. Leveled with Bilstein 5100s set you 2.1”. Tires are 295/70r18 on 18x9, +20 offset Fuel Rebels.
Zero rubbing, even with weight in the vehicle. Strangely enough, the passenger side has more clearance than the drivers side, even with an empty fuel tank. Still clears when full. Did NOT have to spread or remove crash bars.

Reason: I speil gud
Can someone help me understand why the 2.5 Level kit sometimes look more level than the 2.0? I have a 2015 lariat sport 4x4 and I want the truck to sit level! I’m so confused what to get!!!

Measure and see how much rake you have, then go from there.
I assume measurement is taken at the apex of wheel well to wheel well?
You could measure from the ground, running your tape vertical thru the center of the wheel, and to the top of the arch. That's accurate enough for what you need.
All suited up for snow on Monday and Tuesday after lowering the rear and lifting the front. I have 500# sand in joint compound buckets in the rear and the plow on the front. This set up is just what I wanted.
Someday I'll go for some new tires but not until I wear these out first. The stock rear shocks are leaking so I'll have to see if what the dealer replaces them with improve the ride.
OK. Fast Forward 6 months to today. With the 2" shackles in the rear (1" lower) and the 2" spacers in the front, in reality, I ended up with what looked like a level truck, but the rear was actually 1/2" lower than the rear. I decided I liked a little rake better and hauling or carrying any load would require some rake to not look stupid high in the front. Yesterday I took out the longer rear shackles. Since a garage had loosened the bolts before, I was able to do it myself without an impact wrench. Now, I am happy. Next mod will be some bigger tires. Maybe some Faulken Wild Peak A/Ts or Toyo Open Countrys. I like the stock 20s though.
2.5" spacers on the front, 2" on the back which makes the stance equal. Not sure what year they did it, but the stance on the front is one inch narrower coming from stock.
