I really like the overall look. I’d recommend removing the front plastic lip, it would make the truck look taller.

So..I noticed this today. I just had a rough country level installed...should the bolts be that bad off center...looks like this isn't seated right...same on both sides...or is this just me.

No, it's just you. The bolt holes and bolts are staggered like that, no problem there.

Default Which leveling kit brand?

Hi. I'm wanting to level my f150 2019, probably gonna go with a 2 inch. Which brand would y'all say is the most reliable or just the best build quality? I don't wanna break the bank but, I don't wanna get something that's gonna mess up my truck. I've been looking at the motofab 2inch kit but, I don't know, i'm seeing mixed reviews, it's a 4.5star kit but just the couple of reviews where one guy said he had grinding and all kinds of horrible things happenm to his truck that I'm not sure if it was due to the kit or if it's from his not being installed correctly or something.

I installed the Autospring 2 inch level on my 2007 Supercrew and ran it for 13 years with no problem. I have the same kit ready to install on my 2020 as soon as I get the time to do it.

The 22s were cool. But the 35s ride so much better

So, as I've been doing my homework on leveling kits, it seems like, apparently, installing a spacer leveling kit on an F150 4x4 quite often results in the upper control arm hitting the coil spring at full droop, causing unpleasant noises and who-knows-what other horrors?

Is this really a common thing with all 2" or 2"+ leveling spacers? Any brands that use offset mounting holes to avoid it or is it pretty much everybody?

I don't think brand would matter. People who say they didn't have this issue probably just haven't introduced a situation where it came into play. It would definitely happen off-road or jumping off a curb or big speed bump. That's the reason I did Bilstein 5100's.
