I do not feel that the ride quality has diminished at all. If anything it doesn’t feel as floaty as it use to and is more firm. With that being said it doesn’t feel any more rough going over bumps or anything like that.

Finally got it done. Put the Readylift 2.5" level kit on the front and swapped out the rear block (2 1/4") with a standard 1 1/4" block from a F150 4wd. Still about half inch higher in the rear. Stepped down from the 22" wheels to some 20s with 35x12.50x20 Ridge Grapplers. I'm still getting some "wobble" or "shimmy" in the steering wheel but only around that 58-62 mph range but its not as bad as it was with the 22s and the Rough Country 2" level kit. I still feel like it has something to do with the CCD ride system.

Very nice, but that is too high for my tastes. Although I do like the looks of your truck. Notice how when you use the Ford build page, the truck appears close to level

I did Bilstein's on my 2015, but that may have been overkill for my needs. Thinking a spacer on my next one depending on stock ride quality.

I don't off road hard, but the improved front entry angle with the level make a few places in my hunting hole easier to drive into.

RC N3 2" coilover with V2 shocks out back rolling on 20x10 -12 in 275/60 ATs. Got rid of the "floaty" ride from the stock FX4 suspension. Firmer, more planted, less body roll. Got about 8K on the suspension since putting it on in June. No complaints yet.

Do you have pics of the eibach on your truck. I ordered but it is on backorder

I have the Same headlights,
Did raising the front affect their light projection? or do they compensate up/down as well as side to side?

curious what you think is over kill ? Puck will also make the ride firmer
