Reason: more info
I went with Bilstein 5100's all around with fronts set to 2.1. Added the Roadmaster rear HD kit as I tow a 26' RV (7700lbs) and didn't want the drop after leveling. I like the look for now.
Just waiting for wheels and tires to arrive. Stock wheels are 20" but moving to 18x9 and 295x70x18 Nitto's. Will post updates.....
Put new suspension on a couple weeks ago. Finally got around to getting new tires and wheels put on as well
Oh shoot are those the Icon Compressions? Looks great! More pics!
I got the halo aluma kit in my basement waiting for install along with the rear blocks. Those wheels are are my short list along with Methods and Fifteen52
Does anyone have any photos of the suspension before the leveling kit was installed? I'm trying to find photos of the stock CV/Upper control arm geometry, because I'm not 100% sure if I have a leveling kit on my truck or not. It seems like it does, because the CV axles look like they're angled too much to be stock, plus the upper control arm seems like it's slanted down a bit
I took a look at my dads 05' 4x4 F150, and the CV half-shafts/ tie-rod ends don't have any angle one them; they're perfectly straight.

I have none before my levels, but if you were to take some of yours, at the top where strut goes into top mount, your UCA angle, and the CV angle, all with the trucks weight on the ground, pretty sure it can figured out. Also, take a measurement from center of wheel to the top of wheelwell, and post it.
What year, and is it FX4?

↑ stock ride height. see how much less room is in the front wheel well ?
↑ Leveled with Ready Lift 2.25" kit , see the extra room in the front wheel well ?
Right CV angle after level.
Left CV angle after level.

yea they are icon compressions. Totally happy with the halos and everything else in the setup. Wouldn’t change a thing.
