Just ordered a 350 and I am leaning towards leveling it. Would like to put 37” tires on it. Can I get away with just a level kit to run this size of tire without any rubbing?

 

You should be fine leveled. It will depend on the Wheel offset, width of tire etc. But a 37x12.5 on a modist offset should be fine.

 

If you use a 1'' spacer, you wont have any rubbing if you were to keep factory wheels and a 37'' tire

 

Ready lift seems to be a popular leveling kit...BDS is another option. You get what you pay for...buy once,cry once.

You may consider running 295's, 305's, 315's, 325's on stock wheels....just slightly narrower than 12.5" wide tire. My factory wheels are 20" and the tires are 34.2" tall. Im gonna run a 315 or 325 tire when I need tires.No lift required. BUT if iwas going to lift the truck, I would do a 2.5, 4 or 6" suspension lift.

If youre going to tow a 5th wheel, then I would be concerned about bed rail height and stay away from too much lift at all

 

How about Carli?

 

Carli is by far one of the top suspension systems on the market. I factory ordered a 2020 f250 and wanted to level the truck, the dealer suggested Readylift with Bilsteins on all four corners. I started looking into different kits and came across some Youtube videos made by CJC Off-road about Carli and why its the best. Really good content and even gave them a call and ended up buying a 2.5 Pin Top with add a packs, radius arms, torsion sway bar, front diff guard and high mount steering stabilizer. I am so glad I went this route the ride is outstanding. I live in northern Canada down a 200 mile gravel road which can become rough and with this kit it makes you really feel in control and you aren't scared to open it up as you have confidence to do so. You cant beat the quality of their products and if you are American or even Canadian like myself its all made in the USA "North America" I had my dealership install the kit and the mechanics were impressed with the build quality of the parts and how Carli provided all the little extras most kits leave out i.e. Brake line extension, castor shims. Only side note to mention is there can be a wait time on Carli Systems so if you do go this route be prepared to wait 8-10 weeks.

 

There are a few options to go about it. Spacers or with proper parts. You could go carli, which is a lot of upfront cost and a long wait time (some guys have been waiting for 2+ months now for parts), Icon Vehicle Dynamics, or piece something together to tailor your needs. My truck came with a spacer level from the previous owner, and i wanted to pull all of that out and do it right. I personally went with the piece together method. From a very reliable local Powerstroke shop that has run every combo of levels/lift over the last 10+ years, the Icon Dynamic leveling coilsprings were highly recommended over Carli level coils. I went with Icon leveling coilsprings, Carli Caster bushings, PMF Trackbar and Draglink, Fox 2.0s for a 2.5" level, and a Kelderman dual steering stabilizer setup. Truck rides amazing now. The coilsprings definitely made the single largest difference in ride quality as i did everything individually one at a time. Also PMF is highly recommended for any suspension components, Trevor definitely makes what is regarded as some of the best components on the market. Not to mention he is super friendly and helpful. Nothing quite like being able to call a company and the owner picks up the phone.

 

I buy a new truck every 100,000, Which is about 3 years for me. So I don't go too overboard on extra's that don't improve my resell value.
I put the ReadyLift kit on my 2020 when arrived in November. It was in stock, reasonably priced.
Include new Springs, Track Bar relocation bracket and 4 Bilstein shocks.
I did add AirLift bags in the rear because I tow a GN trailer a lot.
The Readylift kit did have my front about 1/2" higher than my rear and the airbags with 10 psi fixed that. Or you could change out the rear blocks

I've driven about 2000 miles empty and just towed my horses 800 miles this weekend and truck was very comfortable
I suspect there will always be something out there that is better than what a person buys. But this solved my needs of raising the truck just a little for the look I like and not screwing up my towing

When I ordered my truck, I did not get the FX4. I knew I would almost immediately swap shocks, So no sense paying for the Ford FX4 shocks. I instead ordered the skid plates ($100) and saved $400 that they charge for the FX4 shocks. That money helped offset the cost of the ReadyLift leveling kit.

 

What size wheels and tires do you run? Offset of wheels? I’d like to get a new pickup every 2-3 years so going with something like ready lift and air bags makes since.

 

I run 20x9 +20 offset with 37x12.50 no trimming

 

Removed to correct thread

 

What wheels and tires are you running?

 

20x9 with a +20 offset on 37x12.50 no rub

 

Good evening, if you are looking for ride quality i highly recommend a carli kit. Icon is another good one. ready lift, bds, wicked are all other great ones as.

Give me a shout if you are not working with anyone as im more then happy to help where possible!

I just did a Icon 2.5” leveling kit 2019 diesel and had to install 2” spacers for Amp 37.12.5r20 not to run on a stock wheel.
