‘21 Level Kit

2021 250 with 6.2L....truck has plow prep on it hence the lack of rake/need for some rear lift too.

current ground-to-fender measurements (all stock):
42.5” front
43.75 rear



looking to add a 2” front level and a 1” taller rear block

https://liftkits4less.com/bds-2-leve...yABEgLrTfD_BwE



Front level kit says it comes with the following:
  • (2) bolt-in lower coil mount spacers
  • (2) ball joint alignment cams
  • (1) heavy duty track bar relocation bracket
  • (4) Fox 2.0 Adventure Series Shocks
  • (1) heavy duty replacement track bar bracket




my questions are:
is this from kit going to work for me and does it have everything I need to get it properly aligned/riding right!

Wi I need anything other than the blocks for the rear?

AND

will the above scenario all work on my ‘21 even though the site is saying 17-19?

That kit will work, but it's front end only. You'll have to source your rear blocks somewhere else. What size tire are you wanting to run? If only 35's, I'd stick to a 1.5" front only level. If you want 37's, do the readylift 2.5 sst which comes with 2" taller rear blocks.

Here is my truck with the readylift and 37s.

Why not go with a smaller lift, like 1", and leave the rear alone.

been scouring the internet for similar. i only plan to 35s and have come to conclusion a 1-1.5 lower front spacer kit is the best option with aftermarket shocks. the 2.5/3.5 kits really need 37s imo.

looks nice but I don’t want to make the truck quite that high. I think 1.5-2 looks best with 35s (which I wanna limit myself to for performance reasons). I’ve had trucks with 6” lift kits and it’s not the best setup for me anymore. So while I wanna make it a little more aggressive looking I want to keep it tame at the same time.

because it’s simply not the look I’m going for. I want it to sit just a little higher as personal preference. But I want to do it right.

Agreed. But I’m mostly eyeing the BDS 2” lower spacer with track bar relo and Fox shocks

is there a big difference between the Fox Adventure and Fox Performance series?

Worth the ~$250 upgrade?

The factory 3" rear block with the 2" front level kit would work for that.

When I looked into the Fox Adventure series vs the Performance series the differences were steel bodies(Adventure), vs. aluminum, and I don't think the Adventure series are rebuildable. For some reason Fox doesn't even list them as an option for the Super Duty but I have seen a couple of vendors using them in their kits. So they obviously do make them for this application. Are the Performance series worth the additional cost, tough to say, there is little to no feedback from people running the Adventure series on these trucks.

Suscribing. I have LT295/65R20's off my 2011 whereby I installed a lift. Do any of you know if I can run those on a 2021 f250 w snow plow prep w/o doing a leveling kit?

Just had it done yesterday, I hopped over the curb backing in a trailer a few times yesterday and was fine. Tire shop told me i could get some tire rub on a locked right turn, it didn't yesterday but will try it today.

Gotcha. The level and tire height both look good. Like I said I’ve had the “lifted” look and I’m done with it. Just want a tad more ride height and yours looks perfect.

Did they give you any crap for mounting 325s on an 8” wheel?

For rear blocks I’m thinking of going 1” taller than the stock 2inch blocks.

thinking of going with this brand:

https://www.pmfsuspension.com/2017-2...cks_p_173.html

should I get bump stop tangs? And should I get them tapered/to what angle?

new to leaf spring/solid axle trucks here.

I have a new Tremor with the 7.3. I did the Carli 2.5 Commuter minus Shocks, with King single Steering Stabilizer. Settled for Bilstein 5100's until Kings are available. They're still 6+ months out. The kit raised my Tremor 1.5". For wheels, I chose Method 317's, 18x9+18 offset. 35x12.50r18 Nitto G2's.

9 inch wheel and +18 offset looks great.

The amount of lift is perfect too.

Sucks about the kings being that far out. Your truck will be a beast once they’re on there.

I thought the carli Pintop comes with king shocks? Those look like the backcountry shocks
