looks awesome. I put factory 18’s with KO2’s on my ‘18 SCREW with a 2” RC level kit but I’m getting rub at max turn on my upper control arms. Thinking about adding small spacers to prevent more rub.

Those wheels look really good on a black truck. Very nice.

Thanks. I got them in March when my factory Wranglers treat wear started to go. Got 5 years out of them an switch this this wheel and tire package sold by a local wheel vendor. Haven’t looked back and it completely changed my perception of the truck. It made me fully embrace the chrome which I was starting to hate not long before.

It is definitely a good balance between dark and bright accents. I need a vendor to pop up with some used tremor 18s so I can get rid of these stx 20s.

Sure are some nice looking trucks here.
How about you enter a contest for some bragging rights and a free gift ?

Follow this link and submit the details and a couple pics of your truck.

Nominations: September 2023 Truck of the Month!! - Ford F150 Forum - Community of Ford Truck Fans

I will close the thread and make a voting poll post on Friday morning.
Thanks, Good Luck

Had the front Bilstein’s installed today. I had already installed the rears. Now I have juuuussssttttt over 1.25” rake which puts me at level with my camper hooked up.

Pretty happy with the way it rides and looks.


While they were at it I had the Method 707’s and Michelin LTXms installed too. 😀

That Bahia Blue matches Lightning Blue better than I thought it would. Nice looking truck.

Default Leveling kit installed?

New guy here, 2017 F150 XLT FX4. I ordered a leveling kit for the truck from Supreme suspension, 2.5 front 1.5 rear. I in my infinite wisdom decided to measure the truck height after I ordered the leveling kit. The truck already looks level and the measurements support this observation. Front measures 39 3/8ths front, and 39.5 rear. I have installed a couple of leveling kits in the past on tundras. I cannot see where any type of lift or leveling kit has been installed on my truck. I'm a little confused as to why my truck is level and how it was leveled.

Are you the first owner? Does it have a cap on the bed?

possible a former owner installed pucks instead of a leveling kit? Suspension going bad? Lots of possibilities

Photos of the truck, front suspension, and rear would help us, help you.
