thinking 2.5 front and 1.5 in the back level lift.
I want tires 32-34 I can put on my stock 20inch rims. Really want a 2.5-3 inch front level and a 1.0-1.5inch rear level. Don't want to have to cut anything and don't want a rub. 2013 fx4 with stock rims.
Thinking I need some better tires. Lol. Told that boy when I bought the truck they were sh#*. Just had to prove it to my wife.....shes convinced. Don't wanna be in this spot again.

Its still not finished , looks much better now but it still handles like a bus with the oem coil springs . If you do the coil over level ... do it right the first time and get a set of aftermarket 700 lb coil springs installed at the same time the oem are way to soft . I have Pro Comp Pro Runners all around and the ride is decent but the body roll is absolutely horrible ...
On my previous truck, which was 2WD, I went with a 2" Autospring leveling kit. Because of the lack of rear blocks, the truck sat higher in the front, which I hated, so I added stock take-off 4x4 rear blocks. It ended up better, but still seemed a bit high in the front. Still looked sharp, though.
This time around, my new truck is 4WD, and I didn't feel like fooling with anything in the rear since it already has 4x4 blocks. I installed a 1.5" Autospring level, and it gave me the perfect look I was looking for. Still has a slight rake for towng the boat.
Ride quality is rougher, but I attribute that to the E load range tires, not the leveling kit. However, I'm thinking of removing the level and switching to Bilstein 5100s pretty soon.
F150lifts.com BOSS coils up front, set at 4-7/8" thread showing, netted me 2" of ride height. BOSS shocks out back with RAS set to loose white disc (black disc won't slide in), netted me about 0.75" ride height out back.
Sits with about 0.25" of rake, with the back being higher. Ride quality is superb as it's firm without being harsh and has much less body roll. Rear shocks are much more controlled as compared to stock.
2" Autospring Kit. I have the 3" blocks, but haven't put them in yet as I think it would rake it our too much. I may try to source out 2 or 2.5" blocks for the rear. Hopefully one day it will see some much needed wheels and tires!
