Lightbulb Leveling kit opinions

Hey everyone. I can use a little help making a decision on a leveling kit for my ‘19 XLT. I am going the coil over route instead of just spacers and I have narrowed it down to either the Fox 2.0’s or the Bilstein 6112’s. Has anyone put either on their truck. Since both set ups are fairly close in comparison the big question is how much lift did they give your truck. They both advertise raising the front by 2 inches but has anyone found that either one doesn’t live up to that claim. I’d like to be able to get 33’s on it without doing any cutting
Thanks for the feedback.

They'll both give you the same amount of desired lift whether it's 0.5" to 2", what you should be concerned about is ride characteristics. Do you want a sportier firmer or more compliant softer ride?

If all you want is to fit 33s, you can do that stock.

i did all the research about them it seems the fox’s will give me a “softer” ride on pavement as opposed to the Bilsteins. I don’t spend a whole lot of time off road and when I do it’s usually woods trails for hunting

I put new coil overs on my 2017 1 1/2 inch lift to level out the look with 315-70/17 tires with no problem. I like the ride and the look.

Thanks guys for the info. I did look at the Eibachs and compared them to the Bilsteins and Fox’s. It came down to the fox or Eibach vs the Bilsteins and for what I am for the fox’s just edged them out so that’s what I ordered. Hopefully I made a good choice.

Don't think you can go wrong unless you have a wife/gf who will complain about how bumpy the ride is.

Can't ever go wrong with Fox, have them on two trucks as I type, zero problems. One truck has them on there for at least 30K miles.
