I too have been thinking of a leveling kit for my "18"' but I have seen tons of used kits being sold, most of them were the 2" variety. It has made me back away from them. That and I am thinking a front end alignment is due with any of them I'm guessing. LOL, I too have searched the section for my year truck and didn't really find the information I was looking for.

I have a 2019 F150 Platinum FX4, I had my Ford Dealer install a set of Ford Performance Leveling Kit, specifically tuned for F150, kit cost $1495 plus $700 for the install, best part is Ford will warranty the install and doesn't affect warranty. Couple of things to watch out for or ask question after install, Ford sends a checklist with the Struts and Shocks, on the checklist is for tech to check alignment, radar alignment and headlight alignment but on most 2 in leveling kit usually don't need headlight or radar alignment but wouldn't hurt to ask the questions. So far so good, tires are wearing normally, drives normally, rides is actually better than factory. I still have factory tires after they wear down I might go with 285/60/R20s, I don't want anything too aggressive cause they create too much noise for me. The Ford kit comes with two new struts, two new shocks for rear. Truck was perfectly level when completed. Tech did say it would be a little high in front but it would settle a little after driving which is exactly what happen. Perfect now. Good luck.
