Leveling Kits for 2011 F150 FX4
I finally decided to buy a Ford and I love it. Plan on putting a leveling kit on it and 35" tires. Any suggestions and what brand & size leveling kit to get? Thanks for any feedback.

That's what I got. 2" Autospring with 295/60/20 (34")Trail Grapplers.No trimming necessary with 34's, you may need to trim a little for 35's.

OP, are you planning on staying with the stock wheels?
That looks fantastic. I have a black 2010 FX4 SuperCrew and now I'm thinking of copying that look. I have the 18" wheels and was thinking of going black wheels. You've made me reconsider. Do you know what the specs are on those 20's?

Whichever you decide to use, remember that whoever installs it has to be very gentle when removing the tie rod ends from the steering knuckle to allow it to articulate low enough to remove and re-install the (taller) strut. The new EPAS (electric power steering) will not withstand hammering the tie rod stud to release it like the older trucks do.

Interesting. So if I did go with a 20x9 aftermarket wheel, what offset or backspacing could I use and still fit the 34's in there? Thanks!
That looks great. Are you using any wheel spacers or is that the stock setup plus the level? Thanks!

offset and backspacing are directly related to each other, google offset to backspacing chart and something should pop up to tell you backspacing to offset and visa versa.
