Front struts
I have a 2015 F150 FX4. While changing my oil, I noticed my driver side coil spring is broke. I want to replace both front struts with a loaded assembly and was going to go with an OEM replacement from O'Reilly's but now kinda like the idea of a 2" level instead. But it looks like there could be suspension issues with the upper control arms making contact with the spring and excessive ball joint wear. Has anybody had these issues after doing a 2" level? My shop says there shouldn't be any issues, but reading forums online shows a different story. I've been looking at the Rough Country N3 leveling struts. Thanks.
I have the R/C loaded struts on my 2020 it leveled the truck without losing the good ride also I tried the leveling spacers first and the ride quality did suffer so took them off and went with the struts

2" level on a 13th gen is very doable, and safe. Where many get rubbing is mostly because of poor wheel offset choice, and too big of tire.
I always try to talk the redneck kids who's trucks I've done into a set of coilovers, some listen, some don't and insist on spacers. Nothing wrong with either, but new springs and shocks make coilovers, IMO, more desirable.
Just keep in mind, you get what you pay for, lower cost reflects lower quality, plenty of midpriced good sets out there, but they cost more than $350.
