I just bought a 2019 F150 Lariat Sport Special Edition 4x4. I'm not digging the rake and was thinking about a front leveling kit only. Any draw backs, ride issues? Also what brand has the best reputation?

Thanks

GO with Bilstein 5100’s

 

Coilovers, Fox, Rancho, many others, depends on how thick your wallet is. I've had spacers, coilovers, the Bilsteins. There really is no right/wrong, as long as you don't go over 2.5" on a 13th gen, you'll be fine with any of them. I just prefer coilovers any more.
What do you plan to use the truck for?

 

Coilovers if you can afford them, 5100s if you cant. I wouldn't bother with spacers IMO considering how cheap 5100s are.

 

Will you explain this comment to me? I thought the 5100s were coilovers.

 

A Bilstein 5100 is an adjustable shock. You will remove your Ford coil spring and install onto the Bilstein per one of the adjustable heights.

Otherwise, one can purchase a ready to install set of coilovers. The cost for shocks are cheap in contrast. Add in labor to the Bilstein install -I do not know how closely compared the costs are. Do it yourself and it's free aisde from the rental cost of the coil spring compressor. Wait, rental is just a deposit and is fully refundable. So yeah, there is no labor charge unless you send yourself a bill.

 

Got it. Thank you.
