2015 F 150 Lariat 4x4, Leveled with 275/65/20 Toyo AT2's
My friend and I took this picture last week in front of the Fort Worth Court House in Fort Worth, Texas. I figured I'd show it off to people who know what they're looking at!

I posted this on Reddit (r/trucks) last week. First post on this forum. Thanks.
Two quick questions:
1. Are there any downsides to using the levelling kit in terms of handling unloaded? I assume the butt is high by default to give more travel for the bed loads?
2. Out of 3 dealerships in my area, nobody can answer a simple question about wheel fitments possible w/o lifting/levelling. I want to upgrade my 2015 F-150 to XD Monster IIs @ 20x9, but with 275/65R 20s instead of 275/55R 20s. From the OEM calculations I think they'll rub if I don't lift, but TireRack and Ford resources are stubborn (insist it doesn't work at all). Side note, the garage where I park and pretty much every where I go is max 7.0', so I'm going to be conservative on any lifting.

1. The back end doesn't change at all, only the front. I've only had it leveled for about a week and it is fine. At first its a little taller than usual, but I got used to it within a day or two.
2. You cannot go that big without a leveling kit. I was told by a lot of dealerships/offroad shops that it will not work. My tires now are about ¾" to 1" away from rubbing. Leveling kit and tires less than 35" will keep you from rubbing and keep you under your 7' mark.
1. Didn't bother upgrading the wheels from factory, so will stick with the 275/65/18s for now.
2. Once I've done a bit of testing in my area to see if a lift + wheel upgrade can handle the garages, I'll finish the upgrades on the wheels + tires and post next to yours
Can I see front pics ? Im going through this inside battle of should i go with 35" tires and like a 4" lift or maybe 6" lift, or go with 33" and leveling kit. I want to keep my good feeling ride quality so im leaning more towards the the leveling kit. But i also want that agressive look that i love seeing from a slightly taller truck. Does the leveling kit acheive that agressive stance on the 15s? there is none down here for me to see in person theres only a 6" lifted 15 and it looks nasty awesome
