Default Leveling kit questions

Would you all recommend the Motofab 2.5 inch leveling kit or the 2.5 KSP? I found some raptor wheel and tire take offs and I've heard a 2.5 level should be all I need to be able to run them.

Maybe, what kind of truck and is it 4X4?
Ford, if that's what you have, makes all sorts of combinations.
I've used MotoFab spacers in the past, I like them. No clue what a KSP is.

Its a 2024 Ford F150 2wd and sorry ksp is just another brand that sells leveling kits. Im leaning towards the KSP since they offer a bundle that includes the upper control arm for about $300. But then again not even sure if I need it or if just the puck is fine.

I have the Motofab 2.5" level kit in my 2024 Powerboost Lariat 4x4 with 35's. No issues after 1.5yrs.

Did you have to run a spacer to not rub with the upper control arm? Ive seen people say the had to run a .25 spacer.

I won't BS you, 4X4's are all I've worked with on F150's. I've used the MotoFab spacers before, and if that's what you want to do, they're a good quality item.
I also haven't had the opportunity to work on a 2024, so my advice will be from the standpoint of 2010-2020 4X4's.
I do know that a pair of OEM 4X4 struts will give you at least 2" lift, with no need for a UCA upgrade. I've done various combinations on 3 F150's of my own, and a number of levels for the neighboring redneck kids, with zero troubles. I have also used the OEM Raptor wheels on all three of my trucks, including the present 2020, with 315/70/17 tires.
What I would suggest, purely because I'm not 100% sure for a 14th gen 4X2, is either use the 2.5" MotoFab, or the 4X4 struts, then when you go to install the Raptor wheels, stick one on the front, and see what kind of clearances you have. Chances are, you'll be alright.
IIRC, there are a couple guys here with 4X2's that have done just what you want to do, hopefully one will chirp in.
Maybe, if you were to change your thread title to something like, "Help with a 4X2 level" you'd gain a larger audience, most of us are 4X4.
I believe you'd have to ask a mod to help you out with title change.
Good luck, keep us updated.

A before


and after


of my 2017 2wd, and a swap to Icon 2.5 coilovers, adjusted to a 2 inch level. Stock 245-70-17 tires on 0-offset wheels
After 8 years, now on Nitto G3 285-70-17s.



Yes the Icons are more expensive, much more than puck kits. But the ride and handling are worth the cost to me. There are lots of suspension leveling method to add to the consideration. KM
