anybody got a leveled F150 extended cab on 31s?

Thinking about putting some F250 springs on my truck in the front to level it. It's got 31s on it now that look good and it does have an exact 2'' rake. I'm afraid if I level it the 31s will look too small in the front. Does anybody have a picture of theirs that would be similar to mine? Also, do people run 33's with just a leveled truck?

Bump. I too am looking for this exact set up for my '90. Its currently running 235/75r15's. My plan is to use the Moog cc844 coils and then buy 31's. My truck has the stock 15x7 rims so the larger tires will still be well within the wheel wells.

If anyone has pics please post them.

Yes my truck is 4x4 and I'm running 33-12.5's on stock wheels. My next tires will be 16 inch rim with 285-75's which are basically 33-10.5-15's.

This is what a leveled F150 4X4 looks like with 31's. It's not an extended cab like yours, but should give you an idea as to whether or not you think a 2" lift will make 31's look small.

I have seen pics of the white Eddie Bauer truck previously on this forum and really like it. To me, the modifications look tastefully done showing a good stance but not overly aggressive.

There are also a couple other pics floating around this forum of a white, supercab stepside levelled with 31's. This is not mine but I saved it from here.

My 87' has 235/70/15's on it, with a 2'' coil spacer leveling kit. I'm getting 31/10.50's soon.

I thought I would update this thread since there has been some progress made on my truck. Deciding to level the front end, I used Moog cc824 springs. The ride is no different than stock; however, it did raise the front end within 1/4" level to the back. I also decided to change out the stock 15x7 steel wheels and 235/75r15 tires for 15x7.5 OEM alloy wheels and 31x10.5r15 Falken Rocky Mountain AT tires.

In all, I am extremely happy with the look. The truck rides nice, has a more rugged look, yet drives very much like stock. I would definitely recommend the upgrade for someone on a budget or wanting a slightly more aggressive look without going to a full on lift kit.

Nice looking truck. I saw it leveled in another thread before tires and new wheels. Looks way better now
