Default Leveling kit update

The only downside to the 2.5" puck was that it left the front higher than the rear. Ordered a 3" rear leveling kit to get some rake back while fixing the bulldog look. Will update the pictures after it's all said and done, the leveling kit is currently sitting in my kitchen waiting for my brother's lift to be available.


2.5" front leveling puck. Not a fan of the bulldog look.


Looks much better with 35s (285/75R/18 Kenda Klever RTs). The slope also helps... it helps quite a bit.

Finally got the rear done as well. 3” lift block. Currently sitting great and looking even better! Ride is a tad stiffer and jumpier, if that makes sense. In the progress of fixing and alignment issue that arose from how we installed the rear blocks not from the blocks themselves.

Does anyone see any problems with my logic below?

Last truck = '19 Platinum - 2.5" Reddy Lift with 285/65R20 Nitto RG - I had zero problems with this setup. Never rubbed once. Loved the stance
- 34.80 inches H x 11.50 inches W

New truck = '19 Limited - 2.5" Reddy Lift with 285/55R22 Nitto RG
- 34.61 inches H x 11.69 inches W

The math is nearly identical obviously, but what I don't know is if anything is different with relation to either the front suspension or offset of the factory wheels. I can't seem to easily find the answers to either of those questions.

Anyone happen to know?

Thanks,

Except for the Raptor, all OEM F150 wheels are +44, the suspension between the two trucks are identical.

Thanks,
Other than shifting the mounting surface for the tires closer to the frame I'm not seeing any difference.

My 19 Limited has a 2" Motofab level up front and sits on 285 65 20's.

It still has more rake than I like to have. Does this come from Max tow pkg?

My last truck was identical to yours, except in color. I had max tow and same size tires as well. The issue I believe is the 2" level kit you installed. I went with 2.5 and it was almost dead level.
