Leveling

Opinions and pros/cons needed. Looking to level my 2018 dually350. I would like to run 35s. But am wondering what the best leveling kits are and their pros cons vs each other. I’m thinking of going with a coil over kit. Either carli or piecing one together. How well does carli and others ride? Can aftermarket radius arms be used with a non identical brand if doing a coil over can conversion?

I went with the Carli commuter 2.5” on my 2019 F450 and absolutely love it.

How's the ride unloaded? Looking at one of the Carli 2.5 kits too.

I used some F450 7500 lb coils. Gave me over an inch and I like the slightly firmer ride. Plenty to run 35's.

Anyone try using 6000 lb coils on F250 to do this? I’m not necessarily looking to level, but would be ok if it did. Mainly trying to support a full replacement bumper and not cause any additional drop in front end.

Installed the Carli 2.5" leveling kit with Fox 2.0s yesterday on my 2018 F350 and I am loving the ride! I skipped their trackbar and went with the Redilift bracket (corrects geometry as well as re centers the axle).

For tires, I went with Nitto Ridge Grapplers (295/65/R20).



You won't go wrong with Carli!

Any benefit to using a leveling kit over heavier springs?

I went with the Carli pintop, radius arms, and full Deavers. Night and day difference but not cheap. Still have the stock wheels/tires for now but was recently installed
