I've never seen one come from the factory already "leveled" ... unless you include the Raptor, but I THINK even that has a little rake to it. Now, some dealers will install level kits for you when you purchase the truck, but that's not the same as having it come leveled "from the factory"...

I can't believe how bad mine is...measured it today and it's 2 5/8". I'm putting an A.R.E. MX on it next week and I'm hoping it along with the stockpile of gear I keep in the back might do a bit of leveling while I wait for Bilstein to come out with an updated 5100 design for the 2014's.

Anyone know if the 2015 F-150's will have the same "T" mount for the lowers?

Okay, I think I'm visualizing now what you guys are talking about.....

So you're balancing out the unloaded raked truck look to "Level". However, when you do actually LOAD the truck,
it's going to visually sag in the rear even worse is what it's going to come down to, if I'm understanding this all correctly.

I have a 2012 Ford E-250 also that looks raked when unloaded but that's to balance it out when it's fully loaded with
a full van of equipment & weight.

How do you like the bfgs in that size? I'm about to pull the trigger on some for my silver fx4 and I was wondering about the difference in ride quality, power loss from the bigger tire ect. I have the 5.0 with 3.55 gears.

I had the dealer flash my ecu with the tire size in my 04 helps the tranny make the correct shift points. Well worth the $60 they charged me. I recommend this on my f250 I could tune it in myself w my hand held h&s tuner
