2011 4x4 leveling kit suggestions...?

I have a 2011 F-150 4x4 ecoboost supercrew with a 5.5' bed and am looking to get a good leveling kit for it. I want the truck to actually sit level so i know it has to be a 2" or 2.5" kit. I would also like to get 33" mud terrain tires under it without it rubbing. has anyone already done this to their truck? Suggestions....? Thank you

You can use the Rancho QuickLift's for the front. Right Part #RS999911 Left Part#RS999935. We are doing a package deal with rear shocks for $530 shipped

Daystar ComfortRide 2.5 inch Strut Spacer Leveling Kit is another option. $140 shipped

Belltech makes a lifting strut that will get you 2" of lift. I can do these for $180 shipped. Part # 25002

(to Brute448) shocking as it may be, I would like to try to leave the factory rims on, at least for now. As can be said for many people currently, I am on a budget. That being said my last truck was a '99 F-250 with a "2.5 Ruff Country leveling kit and 35" Mickey Thompson MTZs and I am just not used to sitting this close to the ground. Just need that little bit of extra clearance. Thanks for the info

You can fit 33's but you will have to watch the width with the stock wheels. I ran 305/55/20 Nitto Trail grapplers on mine with a leveling kit and no issues. Trail Graps are some of the best looking mud terrains out there a they ride great.

I recently installed a 2.5" Daystar leveling kit. It netted out 2" of actual lift up front which gave me a great looking stance with a slight back to front rake. In the next week or so I plan on adding 20x9 +18mm XD Hoss in black with 305/55/20 Nitto Trail Grapps. I expect to end up with a semi aggressive look, tires just outside of the wheel wells, slight rake and no rubbing issues.

I'm open for any additional ideas or input if anybody has any.

Is it possible or let me say logical to put a spacer on top of a Rancho QL. I would of course leave the QL set on it's lowest setting. I am assuming the QL on the 1 setting is equivalent to the stock strut length. I want this for the look and better ride/handling characteristics

The QL is not adjustable for height, just ride quality. The ride adjustments allow you to dial in how stiff or soft of a ride you want. Sounds like the QL is what you need, it will allow you to level the truck and improve the ride.

Some are saying that autospring's level kits are the best bang for your buck. They have 1"-2.5" level spacers for 80$

Love the look of your truck !! What offset is the rims ? And how far out do they stick out past the fenders ? No need for fender flairs ?
Thanks

I am running the Bilstein 5100 adjustable ride shocks up front and really like them. Motofab kit is great and runs $74 on Amazon right now. Bilsteins are about $94 a shock and then you need to have a spring compressor to get them on. Most shops will charge $150 - $225 to put the Bilstein struts in for you. I have been told that when you go to the level 3 (2.25" height) on the Bilsteins, the ride get a little stiff compared to stock.

2014 FX4 screw 5.5' box BDS 2.5" front leveling kit

I've got a 2.5" BDS front leveling kit, currently hunting for wheels and tires to fill up some of the wheel well. Truck is new with no sag in the rear (yet) so I'm at 1/4 of an inch lower in the front.
