Default New Ford Owner Budget Level

Hello All,

New first time Ford owner here. I just recently got a 2016 F150 SCREW XLT FX4. It has 75k miles on it. I am wanting to level it and was going to go with a spacer up front and 5100s on the rear. Trying to do everything on a tight budget but I also figured with that mileage that the fronts may need replaced too.

Has anyone ran the adjustable 5100s on the front and the put the Rough County N3s on the rear? Trying to find some ideas to stay as budget minded as possible. Truck currently has 275/65/20 Michelins on it but i will upgrade those once they wear out.

Thanks.

For the $100 difference, I wouldn't even consider RC.

If you’re on a budget and your OE shocks/struts are good, then do your level spacer for now and call it a day.

You can replace rear shocks (easily) later and save the front end stuff for when the budget is larger/parts are actually needing replaced. Keep in mind, when you mess with the front suspension, you’ll need an alignment afterwards.
