Working on levelling a 2015 Platinum (with a $77,000 price tag!). Doing a 2" front level, and a 3" rear block, Bushwacker 1.5" pocket flares, WORX rims, and Retrax power roll-up aluminum tonneau cover.
Discovered that 35x12.50 tires on 18x9" +12 rims DO NOT fit, like they did on the last style.
Here's before pics:
Ran into a little snag with the flares. Turns out there's a sensor for the automated park assist, that gets covered up with the flare! Had to drill a hole and relocate the sensor into the flare:
Then when we thought we were all done, we found that the tires have major rubbing on some strange metal braces that don't seem to do much. Appears to be for extra bracing in the event of a crash - to keep the tire in place or something.
Gonna try and figure out what to do in the morning - remove the braces?
Might just order up the Skyjacker 4.5" kit.
leveling kits are useless and so are IFS lift kits. Youre just adding a cow dragger for looks. Adding bush wackers.... really you just ruined the truck. Useless as a truck other then parking around the city with.
Why don't stealerships actually build nice trucks. Not with crap bolt ons. Heres a real ford for exaple running 40x14.50x17 with NO LIFT.
Spydertrax hubs, adjustable kings front and rear, Dynatrac front end with detroit locker, 5.13 gears, RCV racing CV axles, Lower and upper control arms with heim instead of ball joints. PSC hydrolic steering instead of the Crap oem rack and pinion gearbox. +4.5 fenders, atlas transfer and a bunch of other things. It's sits higher then 4 inch/6ich with 35's f150. But most important is 100% more capable offroad then anything IFS lifted/Leveled.

Am I the first to level a 2015?
