Default Leveled f150 with Stock Tires

I am getting a leveling kit and have new rims / tires for them. Problem is, i ordered 275/55r20's (stock size) instead of larger (275/60r20) tires. I would like to see what leveling kits look like from stock tire size. Thanks!

Not same size rims but overall about same size tires

This is with Bilsteins set at top setting (2" level)
I have sense replaced rear blocks with 3" blocks to give me back a little rake for when i haul stuff

Here's mine. 1 1/2 inch Autospring level with the factory 275/65/18s. Same height and width as your 20s. Ran it like this for probably 8 months or so. The second pic is with some factory 20s and a set of 305/55/20s. Sorry for the bad cell phone pics.

My '14 FX4 leveled with stock 18's. Looked weird to me right away, but quickly accepted it, though it now resides on 33's on 20's.

That's your stock picture or with the new 33's?

I think I decided on upping to some 275/60r20's to get the 33" tire. I am getting my Bilsteins's put on tomorrow ill send before and afters.

What does it look like with your 305/55/20's?

Thanks for the replies everybody

The picture I posted was with the stock tires/wheels.

This is with the 305/55/20 Nitto's on XD Hoss wheels...

A few things will decide how it will look, you did not include the year of your truck or the level size you went with. Here's my 2010 with the 2.5 rough country and stock tires. It now has 285/65/20s.

This was with the coilovers set right at 2" of height increase. Also have RAS installed on the back and that netted me about 1.25" of height increase.

This is most recent, coilovers lowered about 1/4" which dropped the front end about 3/8". RAS untouched from the previous pic. Tires have about 15k more miles on them here than in the previous pic.

Thanks for the feedback

Here are more details i did not disclose earlier:

Stock tires were 265/65r20 (slightly smaller than OEM lariats from what i found) which the previous owner had put on. Explains why i thought my stance was so weak before. These pictures go from stock --> leveled --> leveled with new Wheels/Tires

F-150 Lariat 4x4

Year
2011

Engine
3.5 Ecoboost



Options

Bilstein 5100's Front and Back, XD Brigade 20x9 +18mm, Hankook Dynapro 275/60r20

Bilstein's set to second from the top setting.

What do you guys think?
