Thanks very much, I appreciate that information. I'm convinced this is the route to go! Going to order them tonight!. Thanks again.

 

I saw a leveled 2018+ F150 today with 20 inch Motivs, must have been the 10 wide -12 offset with the same size tire and it looked amazing in person. The fit just looks good and I think I’ll take a similar direction. It looks wide without being over the top and works well with only a level.

 

2016 F150 XLT 4x4 5.0 leveled with Bilstein struts at 2.1 setting. Rear is Bilstein shocks on stock block. Just went from P275/65r18 to LT285/75r18 Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws. NO rubbing anywhere, even in reverse at full lock. Loving the new look and can't wait for the new SCT tuner to get here today so I can re-program the tire size.



Everything stock. P275/65r18 with stock suspension.

P275/65r18 stock tires with Bilstein struts at 2.1. Stock rear block.

LT285/75r18 with Bilsteins at 2.1. stock rear block.

 

What are your fender heights now?

 

These make a big difference in stance. Slight rubbing on front crashbar in reverse (who cares).

Well, I thought there would have been more difference based on a 2.1 in setting on the Bilstein struts, but it looks like there's only about 3/8 inch different between the 2. Front is 40 3/4 and back is 41 1/8. Considering the next size leveling strut is 2.5 I can see why some folks are getting 'nose high' results.

In my case, using a 2.5 leveling kit would have me 'nose up' as .4 in = 3.2/8 and my rake is only 3/8. Splitting hairs here, I know. I like the way mine looks, until I don't. May also change my mind the next time I put a heavy load in the bed. Then my next post will be about installing a 2" block or an additional leaf spring in the back. Hmmm, sounds like a good topic for another post.... Block or leaf spring for small adjustments to rear height?

 

It's all dependant on what the rake was before you started, seems the 13th gen have more rake than the 12th gen, but it also seems that it can vary based on trim too. Mine, stock, only has between 1.75 and 2 inches rake at most.

 

I just installed some Halo Lifts Aluma coil overs on my 2018 at the preset height. Took me about 4 hours total, 2.5 for the drivers side and 1.5 for the passenger side.

before-
LF: 36.75
RF: 36.75
LR: 39.75
RR: 39.5

after-
LF: 40.5
RF: 40.5
LR: 39.75
RR: 39.5

I still need an alignment but kinda surprised how much actual lift I saw.

Also as a side note, does anyone know if you should put loctite on the lower coilover bolts? These new ones are different than stock in that they thread from below and dont use a nut on top. It seems like that plus vibration would make it easier for them to come undone.

 

Never a bad idea. Don't those coilovers come set at 2.5" level? That's quite a bit of height you got.
