Default Height of Truck after level kit installed

How much height did your truck increase after installing AS 2.5 leveling kit with 1 1/2" rear blocks?

Thinking about running 285/65r20 K02 tires on a 2012 F150 King Ranch and I still want to fit in the garage....

I guess KKR5 knows how tall your garage is.


Since my level and tires I only fit in a few garages (others I dont fit in that I did previously) my garage I have 1.5" of clearance.


You'll have to measure, the AS 2.5 usually gives a real of 2.25" if I remember correctly. subtract the new tire diameter by the old tire diameter and divide by two. That's how much higher you will sit because of the tires. Add to the 2.25 and then to the current height of your truck. Remember, every truck is different so results will vary.

I assumed he was talking about a regular house garage. I don't know of anyone who cannot fit in a standard sized garage with only a level. My previous leveled truck fit did not have a problem. How many different garages do you actually have to park in by the way?

I mean in most cases there will be plenty of room but the few I ran into issues with, well 1 was actually a parking garage, another my cousins house who I had put the leveling kit on with, and another was at house I was looking at the other day (I'm house hunting currently, this one I eyeballed and it was too close to want to try). My own garage I have just enough room.

bahaha that's great! I thought about that when I was putting mine in. That's why I installed mine outside the garage and not inside, glad I did too!

I hear ya. Make sure to test the height and length lol. First house I bought, checked the height and it was not an issue. Signed the papers and then realized I couldn't shut the garage because the truck was too long.
