Default Leveling Questions

Is there a difference to the different spacer leveling kits? Rough Country, Ready Lift etc?
Is there any effect on the ride doing a 2" spacer lift?

I have never had a warranty issue so not to concerned over that.

I leveled my last F150 using Fox Coilovers and rear shocks, 2" is what I raised the front. I loved the look and ride, and never saw a downside to this setup.

That truck was used and 36K miles so new shocks was not a bad idea.

I do not have the cash to do that now so considering a more basic leveling kit.

I just bought a 2" Autospring leveling kit from Stage3 for my 2016 Screw 4x2. The AS kit seems most common on the forums. I am a total newbie at leveling so hopefully that puts me level, going to find a local shop to install it. Nothing planned for rear.
Planning to run 285/70/17 or 285/65/18s I think they should fit.

Let me know what you think once you have it done.

I did the autospring 2" in the front and 3" blocks in the back. No difference in the ride and handling. No problems except the stirring stop blocks may make a noise when you have the wheel is all the way turned left/right.

I don't think there's much of a difference in different brand leveling kits as long as their the same size. If you want a perfectly level truck (by measurement and not the eye), then you'll want a 2.5" leveling spacer. But the bigger the spacer, the more stress you'll put on your front end parts which will wear faster. From what I've read, the biggest you want to go on a 4wd is 2". 2.5" will make you perfectly level, but it looks nose high to the eye. I have a 2" spacer and it's perfect! I'm 1/2" or so high in the rear, but it looks perfectly level.
