anyone ever see a lower spacer installed below the strut like a gmc?
looking to bump up my level a bit more and wondering if i can just fab a 3/8 thick spacer to mount below the strut
in between the lower 2 bolts and the lower control arm

I don't know the technical details here, but it seems to me that if this were possible, it's what everyone would already be manufacturing. I'd guess it causes some kind of alignment problem or possibly even contact between suspension parts.
I just bought my very first Ford. 2017 F150 XLT! I am absolutely in love with it. I hate the look of my truck not level and I want room for bigger tires. I wanted opinions on if there any leveling kits that I would be able to fit 33.9 inch diameter Nitto Ridge Grapplers or maybe even bigger without any rub at all? Anyone have a similar or same build? Pics and opinions appreciated. Thanks!
A 2" level would get you right there for clearance on that size tire with those OEM wheels. Don't know for sure if you'd be dead level. Depends on what kind of rake you have right now.

Another member did just that with 1/2" awhile back. I haven't heard, or remember, what problems it might have caused. Myself, I don't see a danger in it. Give it a shot and see how things turn out. It is an interesting idea.
Curious, why did you decide to use lift springs when the struts have a lift option built into them? Not criticizing it, just wondering what the motive was.... I have the 5100's w/ stock springs, but my truck doesn't sit as high as some others even at the "2.1" setting.
I am thinking of putting on Bilstein shocks for larger tires, guessing the largest I can get is 33" maybe 10 inch wide. I have a 2020 FX4.
For anyone on the fence about going 1.75” or 2.10” on the Bilsteins...
The 1.75” leaves a small amount of visible rake.
Do I kind of wish I went with 2.1? Yes, but less stress on the front end and better ride quality gives me peace of mind with the 1.75”
thanks for posting. been running the bills on 1.75 for a while, with stock tires/wheels but on the fence about the 275/70/18's. your rig looks good with this setup.
