Hey guys. Looking to get a leveling kit for my f250 diesel. IT has the high capacity tow package, so I don't know if that requires a different amount of lift to get it level. Any recommendations are appreciated!
Also looking to get 18in or 17 in wheels so tire recommendations are also welcome! Looking for at least a 35 aggressive AT
I am having the 2.5" Ready Lift kit installed today and I have the high capacity tow package. I can up load pics after. I already have 35x12.50 Nitto Ridge Grappler tires on there with no clearance issues.
I also have airlift bags so I am not concerned with squatting.
I had the local 4x4 shop level both my 2015 truck and my 2017 when I bought them. They just used the 2" pucks, So it was a $300 install with alignment.
I put 90,000 miles on the 2015 and have 40,000 miles on the 2017 and have had no problems or complaints
I do tow a 13,000lbs GN horse trailer. So I have Air Bags on the rear that I pump up when I'm hooked up to the trailer to keep me level. Other wise I get flashed a lot at night if I let the rear sag under the trailer weight.
I'm sure the more expensive leveling kits offer something. But I've not seen a problem with the simple pucks that I've used. But then I try to stay under 7'2" so I can continue to use the drive thru car wash

First off, truck looks great! You can fit 35 x 12.50 tires on your truck stock. I went with a 2" Bilstein springs and Ready lift bracket kit to level it up. I run 37 x 12.50 R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers. They fit great and don't rub unless I really start to turn and flex at the same time. And that is very slight in the inner fender well. I have ran these tires for 15,000 miles and plan to get 50,000+ miles on them as well as they are wearing. Please be very aware that you CANNOT fit 17" wheels unless you buy steel wheels. I spoke directly with a wheel supplier that had rims come back because of this issue. 18" aluminum wheels are the smallest diameter aluminum wheels you can fit on 2017 Ford Superduty's. I have added rear air bags to help with the trailer sag in the back. Hauling a motorcycle trailer I add very little air, but hauling a large bumper pull camper I increased up to 25 psi per side to level back out. But leveled without the trailer does look impressive on these trucks.

Are your running with the 37/12.50/r20 in Ford OEM 20" alloys or using aftermarket wheels. I ask as everyone I've met and spoken with (face to face) that are running the 37/12.50/r20's on OEM factory 20's confirmed they rub at full lock against the frame members.
