Hi guys, first time poster here. I'm picking up my 2021 F250 CC 6.7 in a few days and have been doing a ton of research about leveling kits. My goal is to be level and clear 35" tires with little to no offset. I know they lowered these trucks by 1.5 inches in the back and 0.5 inches in the front ( if not correct, correct me). My truck is equipped with the snow plow / camper prep so i will gain some height there. I haven't even seen this truck yet as I am in quarantine due to international travel for work. How do you think it will sit? I've been looking at the rough country or ready lift 1.5 inch spacers for underneath the springs which may be ok but perhaps would need a slight block in the rear as well? I guess it just depends on the rake i'm trying to achieve.. anyways let me know your 2 cents
From the measurements I've taken of 2020 and 2021 trucks on dealer lots, your truck should have about 2.5" of factory "rake". 35's will easily clear with the 1.5" level kit, and leave you about 1" of rake. IMO, 1.5" level is the highest you should go without doing something in the rear also, need to keep a little rake for hauling towing.

Did the trucks you measure have the heavy front spring?

Didn't pay that much attention. But, all the diesel trucks I measured were within .5" of each other as far as front wheel well height. Even the Tremor with it's bigger tires is only 1" taller in the front on average.
With the heavier rate front springs I'm guessing you'll be closer to 2" of rake. Thats just a guess. If you want to sit perfectly level its probably best to just wait till the truck arrives and take measurements.
2020 F250. I went with a 2.5 lift in the front and went from a 2" block to a 4" block in the back. The truck does have a rake to it, but that is how I wanted it. It clears the 35's with a 20x10 -18 offset wheel. I think with just a 2.5 in the front it would be a little nose high.

Beautiful truck! Did you do the Readylift 2.5 SST kit?

Dandy truck! Did you put the lift in the front and then realize it’s nose was up and opted for the blocks to level it or was it your plan all along?
cooper could we get some wheel well measurements and maybe a tailgate to ground also. Thanks.
The front measures 43.5" from the garage floor to the bottom of the factory fender flare, the rear is at 45.5". From the garage floor to the top of the tailgate is 61".
I have a 2020 and did a leveling kit and will let you know, without a doubt, leveling the front 2.5" will make your truck nose high. I have adjustable front levelers and set them to 1.5" in the front and that leaves the rear higher by ~.25-.5". Dead *** level would be leveling the front about 2", but with the differences in the height from the factory, you may still be nose high going with 2" level in the front.
