Same here. 302 with a tune and pipes. I'm right around 430 hp. More than enough to start breaking factory parts. So , a lot of upgrades for me to come with the drive train.

Wondering if I can get some assistance from this great group. I have searched through a large percentage of these pages for an example of what I would like to do. Since I am having a shop do it I'm sure they will do what I ask and then charge me up the "0-ring" for any adjustments after that, so I'd like to get it as close as possible the first time.
I have a 2012 F150 XLT 5.0. As of right now , with the gear I carry (firefighter equip and just general tools and utilities) I sit perfectly level......perfectly. All stock 265x70x17
I'd like to go to the 285x65x20 BFG AT KO2 with 20x9 Fuel Anza wheels with offset (+20).
As simple as it is to go to a 2" level I hear mixed reaction regarding levels and ride quality. I understand that Bilstiens 5100 adjustable offer a much better ride and save components on the truck. They are not out of my price range but I would like to keep the lift/level to the minimum. From what I understand the higher the setting the stiffer the ride????
My questions are:
1. Does anyone know if I could get the tire/wheel combo (285x65x20) I am looking for with the 1.5" level setting on the Bilstiens with minor trimming?
2. If I am level right now and I add 1.5" to the front only (hopefully), what would I need to do to the rear to increase it? I understand that I would need to increase it the same but does the stock have a 2" block, 1.5" block?????
Thanks
