I went with Bilstein 5100 at the second highest setting (1.76”) to avoid squatting when towing. This worked out pretty well but I did add Sumo Springs later to get a more stable experience.
Excellent I have a set of 5100's waiting to be installed. I was thinking of going with the 1.75 setting as well. I plan on towing so I dont want them at the max setting either. How does it ride now? I'll post pictures once I get mine installed.

Mixed it up today with some new school wheels. 295/65r20 ridge grapplers and Fox 2.0 level. Should I add Morimotos and swap FX4 decals to covert gray?? Will add better pics when daylight.
That’s where I’m at now, same as you but can’t figure out what will be the biggest tire size without any rubbing? I’m planning on keeping the same rims. I’m thinking 285/75/18 which is nearly a 35 did you ever get your new tires?
Got the 5100's installed on the 1.75" setting. Also replaced the wheels and tires. Method NV305 17x8.5 25mm BFG KO2 285/70/18
Stock as I bought it just before Christmas
After wheels / tires
After the Shocks
Its pretty close to level and right now I got 2" lift . I'm guessing because I have some weight in the bed. Tonneau, bed mat, some equipment. Maybe 200 lbs total on a daily basis, much more on occasion.
2-1/2" Reddy Lift kit with 285/65/20 Ridge Grapplers. Seriously considering adding spacers to bring the wheels out just to the edge of the fender, maybe 1/2"?
35x12.5x20 Venom Power Terra Hunter R/T+, stock rims, 2.5” level kit, 1.5” spacers 6’5” bed. Very smallest of rub on inside bottom
corner of stock mud flaps when turned at full lock. Will just trim the very bottom corner off the plastic mud flap. No rubbing anywhere else.

I have a 2015 F150 platinum 4WD. I will be removing the front 2" puck and replacing the suspension with the Icon stage 1 2.63" system and adding 20x9 18mm offset wheels. I plan on adding 35x12.5x20 Kenda Klever R/T KR601 tires. I already have a set of rancho control arms for the build. So I am assuming I will have some rub on the crash bars, but will the Rancho's and wheel setup work? Thanks
