Default 2.5" Leveling Question

I posted earlier that i am thinking abpout installing a 2.5" leveling kit on my 2021 F150 Lariat. I am not raising the truck, just getting it a little closer to level. I am reading in places on this site where people are saying that they have "heard" that this is effecting the lane keeping and speed limit sign recognition features of the truck, as well as the auto dimming of the headlights. Does anyone have reliable input as to whether or not this is truly an issue or as I suspect "hear-say"?

Thanks For Your Inputs

I have 2.75" level, sitting on 35's. I have noticed the Co-Pilot Assist seems to correct steering a little differently. I have been told that the Dealership can reprogram / relearn the camera's on the truck to correct this issue. I am going to be calling today to find out.

35" Wildpeaks on a non-powerboost truck. Have you adjusted speedo/odo? What's your mileage/driving?

I have the 5.0L... at 70mph, I am about 6mph off. I plan to get into ForScan this weekend and adjust it. It drives amazingly, I am so happy with it. I do not have a mpg loss yet, as I have only had the tires on for less then a week. Before the tires, I was average 19.3 mpg (according to the truck). In the past 5 days of driving, it has dropped to 18.9 so far.

The 35"s look great on your truck! I was thinking 33s after leveling mine but now I'm going to have to think on it a little. I had KO2s on my raptor so I already know which tire I'll use.

I am a DIE HARD KO2 guy! I was not able to find ANYTHING in a KO2 near that size. There is a tire shortage currently, and you will have a really hard time finding tires this big. I Tried KO2's & Toyo OC AT III's... and I was only able to find them in Falken's. I have only ran KO2's for over 20+ years... every single truck I have owned have had KO's. I hope you find some tires... best of luck!
