Default Need Help on Level Kit

I am deciding between getting a Leveling Kit from Motofab ($70) or Pro Comp ($180). They are both spacers but why is there such a big difference in price?

Also so would you recommend a 2" level or a 2.5" level? I am trying to fit XD818 20x9 +12 with Renegade Radar AT-5 33x12.5x20. Any inputs on these tires?

Please advise.

I did the 2" Motofab kit on my 2WD F150 and I am completely happy with the leveled look. Don't spend the extra money on the other option. It isn't worth it.

2.5" level will make u "nose high." You'll need to step up your rear block game if you're not into that look.....

I have a 2016 5.0 scab 6.5 bed 4x4 FX4
Mine stock had 3" of rake....
I put a 2.25" ready lift level on it, and 275/70R18 BFG KO2s (33.2")
Still has 3/4" of rake and plenty of room to spare.

2.5 inch front runs the risk of being nose high. I installed a 2.5 inch Auto Spring on my 2016 and it was a 1/4 inch higher in the front. So I installed a 2 inch blocks in the rear and it gave me a perfect stance with a 1/2 of rake. Go with the 2 inch if you don't want to add new rear block.

I put a 2.5 inch SDT level on my 16 f150 eb and I think it looks great with no blocks in the rear but again it is a tad nose high on install.


for the record im not "promoting" SDT brand but its 50 bucks on amazon with a lifetime warranty = sold lol

With a 2" level, would it have an issue fitting rims at 20x9 +12 with tires at 33x12.5x20?

You'll likely rub a little bit with tires that wide

If I went with a with 2.5" front with a 1" block in the rear, would you think that would fit? Would running the rear block affect the ride/ suspensions significantly?

Changing the level in the front isn't going to do much for 12.5 wides. I think you'd need a lift kit to fit those with zero rub. But to answer your question, rear block does not change the ride at all. Like actually 0 difference in ride quality (if you look, you already have a block back there, you'd be adding a 1" block to it or replacing with one 1" larger)
