I went with 1.75" setting and couldn't be happier. I think the truck rides better than stock (both over bumps and handling corners). The Bilstein shocks dampen better and aren't anymore "rough" riding than the stock shocks IMO. Unless you plan on lifting the rear (because I only have about a half inch of rake now, I definitely think the shocks lifted me more than 1.75", could be because I'm 2wd with the 2.7l) the 1.75 is the way to go for almost dead nuts level.

I'm very new to this whole "leveling kit" thing. In fact, I came from the world of modding '03 Cobras, and quite frankly, have never modified a truck beyond a few simple FORScan mods on my '18 F150. Having said that, I'd prefer to lower the rear than raise the front because I don't want to buy new wheels to fill up the wheel wells.
Truck is a 4WD, 3.5L EB, Screw with 20" PVD wheels. What's the best way to level it? I thought I read something about just removing the blocks from the rear. Would that do it? If so, where are they? Sorry for the newb questions.

Just a simple question. Wondering if anyone knows or has replaced a BFG KO2- LT275/70r18 tire into the spare tire location which currently fits the OEM spare size - Michelin 275/65r18? So a 33.2" tire vs a 32.0" tire. Looks to be real close, but before I go to the trouble of pulling one of my tires off to see thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance.
