Could you send me more pics of your truck from the front and back at a distance, as well as the front wheel well with rubbing? Do you think if I went with a 285 instead of the 295, that it would appear to sit closer to the fender flares? Thanks in advance for your help!
I have these in a +20 and they are flush with the factory flares. The +1 will set them out about 3/4".

And it does not hurt your warranty and by a Ford dealer installing the kit I get a Warranty for 24,000 miles or 2 years. Any Ford Performance Dealer can do the work for you! That's for there labor only because I brought my own parts. If you buy the parts from Ford Performance via the Ford Dealer , you will get parts and labor!. Hope this helps!
seriously, the labor is free if you buy the kit thru Ford? I have never heard this?
How much more do the kits cost if you buy it thru Ford Performance? I figure that’s how they must make up the labor cost

Got my motofab 1.5" level installed. I think it is the perfect stance. I still have about 3/4" of rake. Here is a before and after photos.

Looks very, very sharp!! Everything works well together.
I went with the 1.5 motofab as well this past season, and found it to be perfect.

Bilstein 5100 adjustable struts (lowest setting) + Eibach Lift Springs = 2.7” front lift. Truck sits dead level. Tires are 305/55r20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers (Non-LT version). Zero rubbing on stock wheels and no wheel spacers.

I added my cheapo puck level today. Its a 2" leveling puck. I had added OEM rear blocks (1.25") from an 4x4 model to the back to keep some rake after the leveling kit. Now, time to save some pennies for larger tires.

WOW! This is EXACTLY what I'm doing to my truck on 10/27! I can't wait. Everything fit together easily? Did you install yourself? I'll be adding Raptor take-off wheels with 315/70/17 BFG KO2's...Hoping it all works and looks like this (with meatier tires). Thanks for posting!

Edit: You kept stock UCA, right? Angles look ok?

Awesome! There is definitely not a lot of pictures or info about this setup on internet. I’ve been running it for 3k miles now. Angles are all comparable to any other 2-2.5” leveling kit. The ride quality is a big improvement from the softer stock struts. Truck feels more controlled and takes bumps in the road like a champ. I had it installed at a local 4x4 shop. It was their first time installing this exact setup. The eibach lift springs are BEEFY, and I wasn’t going to try my luck compressing them for the install. If you have them installed at a shop, make sure to tell them to set the snap ring on the Bilstein struts to the lowest setting. The springs will provide the lift. Your truck will look good with the raptor wheels/tires. Be sure to post up a picture and your thoughts!

I liked the way it looked at very close to level, and I don't want to raise up the rear end another 1 1/2" thus creating more rake. I was a little disappointed in the build quality of the rough country spacers, but I guess that's what you get for 100 bucks. The truck is new, once it comes time to replace the struts/shocks, I think I will pop these spacers out and go to a Fox coil-over system. I have a set of 5 33 x 10.8" DURATRACS in my garage that just landed on my doorstep, but I won't be able to make it to the tire shop for a few days.
Would you mind posting an after pic similar to your first picture? So I can see the entire truck from the side? thx!
