@Dcookster There is zero rubbing. I have purposely tried to make it rub in either direction, forward & reverse. All good!

Default 2016 F150 Leveling Kit

I put the T536829 - Roush by Fox 2.0 Suspension Kit (15-19 4WD F-150, Excluding Raptor) on my 2016 F150. I like it. I have 33's on my truck. Mild but nice for me.

Default 2019 Limited w/ 5100s @1.7” and 305/45R22 Ridge Grapplers


The truck only had 16k miles on the factory shocks and pirelli tires when I picked it up in December but the ride quality improvement going to the 5100s and new tires was quite drastic. I’m very pleased!

Im kind of a "noob", just purchased by first pickup truck. Ive always liked the look of a leveled truck. I have a 2WD XL. Ive read that the 2WD F-150s don't have a rear block, but the rear is still 2" higher than the front. If I did the 1.5" Motofab leveling kit, would it look stupid with the stock size tires? And some someone help clear up the rear block thing for me? If the 2WDs don't have a rear block, I would have expected the height to be about the same as the front. Seems like the 4WD trucks have about the same rake.

I'd just get under there and look. You never know what the previous owner could have modified.

When I had my 2WD, I parked my truck on a level surface and measured the highest part of the rear wheel well and then compared it to the highest point of the front wheel well. That gave me the size of the spacer for the front. I ended up with a 2 inch spacer to level it out. Good luck.

I know the truck is completely stock. I bought it from my dad, who ordered it new in 2018 and never did any modifications to it.

Im thinking a 1.5” would be a good, and that would give a slight rake at .5”. I’m just concerned that it might look stupid with the stock size tires.

These trucks have motivated me to finally get a level kit.

Been a while since I’ve been on here. Running a 2” level, 20x9 Fuel wheels with a +12 offset. These 275/65/R20 BFG KO2s have since been worn out and need replacing. Looking to move to a different tire in 285/60 or preferably a 285/65R20.

Am I going to be running into rubbing issues having the stock mudflaps installed or rubbing on the crash bars?

I’d like to get a wider tire for beefier look width wise. And I’m ok with some slight rub on the mud flaps because I could always massage/trim a little bit off if I had to. Prefer to keep them on as to not have as much debris kicked up down the side of the truck.

Much help is much appreciated
