Looking for real life feedback. Im looking to level my 2017 F350 and am considering a coil spring leveling kit. Is it worth the extra $$? I tow heavy often and spend most of the time on road. I would really like to improve the ride quality but not compromise towing.
Thanks
Mike

 

If you are towing heavy, then I wouldn't level. It will look like you are squared while towing.

 

Since you tow heavy I would limit it to a 1 inch spacer and new shocks and new steering stabilizer.

 

I should have mentioned I run bags so no squat here.

 

Why only 1inch? I replaced the factory stabilizer with a fox a few weeks back and it definitely helped. For shocks Im leaning toward Bilstein 5160s.

 

Think of it like a seesaw.

Thats my opinion but you can do whatever.

 

Ok so your thought is that the front end will become too light and maybe cause a loss of control? I guess I can see that. I appreciate your input. I am new to the truck world so trying to learn from fellow owners. Thanks

if your towing heavy stuff alot then it will be level automatically so i dont see any use for that leveling junk on the truck

 

Its cosmetic for sure. I am not a fan of the raked look and when I do tow my 5th wheel I run bags for stability and a more comfortable ride.

 

Im a little surprised I didnt get more feedback on this. Is it because most people are just going with the spacer style and new shocks when leveling?

 

If you want it leveled, level it... you’ll be more impressed with a coil lift as opposed to a spacer and shocks. If you’re in a 6.7 go Carli, my buddy’s truck drive like a dream and he tows 12k plus on a regular basis with a Carli commuter and air bags in the rear... no issues what so ever and Id guess he has 40k miles towing 12k at a minimum with 90% being on that Carli leveling kit. Once their kit comes out for the 6.2 I will be going to it and I tow 9-10k regularly.

 

You haven’t posted your motor or front spring option so its hard to give input.


But I have an f250 6.7 and am doing 1.5 inch coils and tow a 15k gooseneck from time to time. I plan to run lower stabileloads to help out.

 

I put the 2.5" Icon springs on mine with bilstein 5100 all the way around and it rides like a dream.

 

Sorry, didnt think it made a huge difference. 6.7L FX4, no snow plow option.

 

Good to know, thanks
