Default 2015 Lariat FX4 2.5" Level Question

Hey guys-- new here and new to Ford (previous Duramax owner), so I apologize for the fact that this topic has probably been well discussed.

I'd really like to put a 2.5" level on this truck, but I've been told I'll need to get a 1" block for the back if I want it to be 'level'. I've been told the Autospring is the way to go, but I'm open to any experiences or recommendations you all may have. My main concern is that I don't want the tires to rub, and I want the truck to continue to ride like it does.

Ideally I would run Toyo Open Country MTs on the truck with the 20" wheels that are on it, and I'd put the largest size I can run without rubbing.

Any recommendations, especially for those of you running the 20" wheels is hugely appreciated. Thanks!

If you add 2.5" to the front.. your truck would be level.. not sure who told you a 1" block in the rear was needed. if you added this 1' block after the front level it would un-level it again. I think all you really need is a 2" up front. put your truck on level ground and measure from bottom of your fender flare to the ground front and back and see what the difference is.. this will tell you what spacer to buy and install. After the level you should be able to run 305/55/20.. 285/65/20 somewhere around those sizes without any rubbing.

Best way to find out what level you need is to measure the truck. Find out what the rear is sitting at, then the front. Subtract the two and get the level closest to what the answer was. Mine was just over 2" so I went with the 2" level by Rough Country. I now have a 3/16 rake to it.
