Has the 2.5" lift gave you any problems? Did you do anything the rear? Looks Great!

So after attempting to determine if Ford Performance leveling kit actually leveled 2” as advertised I just went ahead and did it.
2019
Lariat Screw
145” wheel base
Max tow

And on this truck it did indeed give 2” leveling. And as luck has it I ended up with the 1" rake as desired/planned/hoped for. No pre-load adjustment was needed.

Before:







After









So there you have it.
Real world numbers and pictures testifying.

This thread was a wealth of information. Ordered a Rough Country leveling kit for my ‘14 Super Crew. Went with the 2” leveling struts and N3 shocks (I have about 73k miles on it, figured I’d freshen up the suspension). Will be using the stock 20” wheels and 275/55 tires until maybe winter. Will figure the size based on my driving then.

Also ordered their rear wheel well liners, will have the shop install while they’re doing the kit. Just a general freshening up for the old girl.

So has anyone used any of the less expensive puck style lifts from eBay or wherever with any problems? I talk to some shops that I get estimates from and they frown on them saying that they are cheap. Of course they want to sell a brand name and for more profit. I’m just curious how much difference there can be. I’d hate to spend more then I have to and get the same results especially if I do it myself.
Any thoughts or opinions are welcomed. Thanks

I've found that the brand names are the same or minimally more. I've used MotoFab the last few times I installed spacers.
