2011 Front level Question?
Good Evening Fellow Ford Fans,
I have a 2011 F150 XLT SuperCrew 4x4 with a tow package. 18" wheels. Looking to level the front end and need some new tires. I'm considering a 1.5" front level kit with 275/70/18 Nitto Dura Grapplers tires. This would replace the stock 275/65/18 Goodyears. I want to maintain a somewhat stock look, but improve the stance/look/performance. Any advice, suggestions? looking for experience in this. Thanks.

Don't need a level of that size. If u want to change the stance why not go to a 285/65. It will be a little wider. The tread of a dura is just kind of boring but completely practical for high driving and never going into rough off road. Look into a simple bfg TA/ko. They look great on stock trucks or level with that size. The LT tire weigh may more so you may take a small hit in mpg.
The Daystar 2" level kit made my truck completely level. I put a set of 20 inch rims on it with 33's on it to see it cleared. It cleared no problem. I just now need to buy them.

275/70r18 is a good choice, but instead of a boring highway tread you can go with some AT's or MT's

Very good. Yeah, I'm now leaning toward a more aggressive tread. I thing the Nitto Dura Grappler is a bit mundane, or "boring" as it may be. Looking at the Cooper Discoverer ST, or the Nitto Terra Grappler, etc... Either tire, I'm gonna go with a 275/70/18 and keep my stock wheels. I'll get the 1.5" front end lift to decrease the rake, but keep a nominal back end bias. Recently added an Extang Solid Fold which was mounted today... super! I reckon I'll throw in a BedRug and call the exterior quits. Now... a few more years of the kids tearing apart the interior and I'll convert to leather!
