2011 f250 leveling kit

Greetings.

I am researching leveling kits for the 2011 f250 4x4 SRW. It seems like there are a bunch on the market but this one from ready lift seems to be the most complete.

ReadyLift 2011 Ford F350 Super Duty 2.5" Leveling Kit

Does anyone know anything about it? It looks like it has a track bar relocation as well.

I am weary of some of these spacer lifts throwing the front end geometry out of spec.

Anyone have any experience with these?

Thanks.

Is your truck not already level? I have a 2011 F250 crewcab 4x4 and its dead level stock.

Interesting... No... I have quite a bit of rake to mine. I wonder what the difference is.

I have 2011 250 cc and the front is a little bit higher than the back. I'm waiting for the springs to settle

Interesting... Yours sits higher in the front from the factory?

I wonder whats up?

Mines like a funny car. Look like a 2wd truck with airbags on the back.

My 2011 sits higher in the front also... But I got the camper package & that gets you heavier front springs... I haven't finished the front replacement bumper yet - but when I do - it should lower some...

My '11 F-250 Crew 4x4 sits dead level, too. I have the snow plow package, which includes beefier front springs, similar to the camper package. I'll never even think of plowing with the truck, but it's nice to have a factory leveling kit!

I have seen about 50 or so trucks down here in ATL they all sit higher in the back, the F350's even more so. I would say the ones that are level must have the plow package on it as stated above, or there is something seriously wrong with it.

Hey guys,

Sorry to resurrect an old thread..... but I came across this and found it interesting that there are so many stances to the F250 stock.


I'd like to have more options to our kits so you can tailor it to specific needs.

Example:

Just a 1" kit for the 2011 since some are almost dead level factory.

Maybe a 3" rear block and u-bolts to replace the 2" factory block for the guy with the gas engine sitting nose high.


Let me know what you guys think.



Thanks!

Taylor.

After researching many of these leveling kits I noticed most of them say "not for off road use".

Yikes.

I dont know about the ready lift but I decided to go a different route all together.

Its mainly a CYA thing.....

but really any of these kits are still utilizing the factory Ford engineered suspension...

Coil spring/straight axle front ends are so simple, thats more for the IFS vehicles... CV angles and all that.


But I hear ya. I just wanted to see if there is a size that would benefit any of the guys out there, since the 2011 has a completely different stance than prior body style.

I see. Yeah. I had an 05 f150 a while back and saw some people with pretty terrible CV angles from some of these spacer kits. Sure, fine for street use but scary looking for off road use.

The spacers for the straight axle trucks seem fine.

Seems like people want a leveling kit or a mild 4 inch lift or they want something super huge. Just from my observations.
