That's good to know - thanks for sharing! I really like the looks of your new setup.

Take a picture of it now, then, put a jack under the front, and jack it up 2", then take another pic. Then you'll know if you like how it looks!
Which kit did you install? I'm going to be doing the same to mine, I have the 20" rims and will probably go to 34's x 11" to keep the bulk down over the 35x12.5s

I didn't actually do it, had a shop install it. I just know it was a 2" spacer that they put in.

As someone who just traded in a F-250 6.0 with an 8” lift and 37” tires I must say I’m liking the ride of my brand new bone stock truck, and for the first time ever may not lift this one. I am intrigued by the leveling kit but am not sure how it will look with my factory 20” wheel package. I really don’t want to have to buy wheels and 33” mud tires to get it to look right because I’d then compromise the factory ride quality and at that point might as well do a 5 or 6” lift and 35” tires.

I’m trying REALLY hard to be a “grown up” with this truck.... lol!
It's not the best picture but here's my wife's '18 with a 2" LK and 20" wheels. The tires are slightly bigger than stock but not by much, they are only 33" tall but a tad wider than stock. Ride stayed the same.

Installation, alignment, and not having to deal with the cold weather, various tools, and busted knuckles for $300.00?

I`ll take that deal all day long.

Looks good.

20's are the perfect size for those wheel wells! Looks great!!
