help me make the right decision!
I recently purchased a 2017 ford f150 platinum with the 3.5l eco boost in ingot silver. I am trying to decide between 4 inch bds lift or just the fox 2.0 coilover to the front and just add that 2 inches of lift in front. I want to keep the same rims that i currently have which are the platinum oem rims. I want to keep a 1 inch of rake in the front for when i haul my skeeter boat. I dont go off road much at all. I do however take my boat during the winter in snow conditions. I dont want to have the wheel look pooched out much more than basically stock. I am also stuck between tire size depending on the route i go. I like the Toyo Rt tire and the Nitto Rdige Grappler but i dont know which tire will look best with the 2 inch lift from the fox coilover or what tire looks best for the 4 inch bds lift (not coilover option). Any help is greatly appreciated. ULTIMATELY JUST LOOKING FOR A LEVELED LOOK (NOT NEGATIVE RAKE) and nothing that screams little man syndrome.

update** just contacted local shop. They are running a special free install will the BDS 4 inch lift kit (non coilover) plus 295/60R20 nitto ridge grappler out the door for 3700.00. That's the route i will be taking. Should have it done next week sometime and post pix.

I was going to recommend the 2" level with 295/60s, but that's actually a really solid deal if you're wanting to go higher.
At $60-80/hr shop labor rates, and a 8-10 hour estimated install, that's quite a savings.
Definitely post pics when it's done. Or, better yet, start a build thread; because mods are like potato chips.
