They usually make quite a bit of noise to let you no they are going bad.
Usually is the key word. One was leaking started to wobble then whined as I slowed down and then broke off at the hub. I think the bearing on that hub was on way out, caused too much heat, plus leaking boot and everything went south. Moral of story is ever since then real cautious about lifting an IFS truck

What size tires are all the 2wd guys putting on? I feel like it's damn near impossible to figure out what will rub

I am in for this question as well. I see some of the 4wd trucks with a level with 35x12.50's and pushing crash beams a little and slight trimming of plastics. Is this possible with a 2wd

Default 2015 xlt


I had Billstein 5100 adjustable coil over shocks installed in the front at the highest setting (2.25"). There is still a very slight rake. Stock tires are 32.1" so 33s would easily fit

Default 2" AS with 20X9 Vision Fury

I just ordered the 2" Auto Spring Kit and a set of 20X9 Vision Fury wheels using the stock 275/55/20 tires and a 12MM poitive offset. Mine should sit just like yours and I think it looks great. I wish it had a little more positive offset to keep the tires under the wheel well more. After measuring I should have just under 1" rake with the 2" front kit installed. I cant wait to get this installed Ill post pics when I'ts finished.

Recently purchased '16 F150 XLT SC 2WD and looking to give it a lift/level kit and wanted to ask about using 3" Front strut spacer and 3" blocks in the rear and see if there is anything else that I should be concerned about. Like do I need to buy longer shocks and or new control arms so I'm not damaging the ball points from the change in Geometry.

Thanks for help in advanced.

Will the Auto Spring 2.5" leveling kit from my 2013 fit on my 2016?

I have my kit from my '13 that I took off and was curious to know if it will fit.

Thanks
BP

I just bought a 2017 F150 Lariat Sport package and had the dealer install a ProComp leveling kit with 305/55R20 Toyo. The tires look great, no rubbing at all, but it looked like there was still a rake in it. Tonight I got out a tape measure and from front to rear there is an 1-1/2" difference? When I checked the ProComp website they do not list a leveling kit for the 2017, did something change from the 2015/2016 models? I am going back to the dealer tomorrow to see what they have to say.

Mine had 3" of rake stock...Did a Ready Lift 2.25" level and now have 3/4" of rake.
I wonder if you got a 1.5" level kit?

Quick question... i bought this truck 2 weeks ago, put a 2" rough country leveling kit on the front. I want to go with 33 12.5 20's. My question is will i have to get new wheels with an offset to make that happen? Or will the factory wheels be ok with spacers?
