Stock, Level, or Lift?
Who out there has leveled or lifted their 2020+ F250? I'm debating on doing a 2.5in level kit with 35x12.5 on the factory 20inch rims. Or maybe a 3.5in lift with 37x12.5's. For those who have done either was the ride quality affected positively or negatively? I have also saw 1 truck that was kept stock with 35x12.5 on it. Would you do it again or do something different?

Bart,
What are your usage plans with your truck? If planning on a lot of towing, including heavy towing(at truck max), I wouldnt change the right height at all. Lifting a truck to be used to tow travel trailer or 5th wheel will cause you problems. If a lot of towing isnt in your future, then go with what you think looks best.

I level my trucks. Just like the look. Don't dare go any higher since I tow a lot.
Since I tow, A level includes air bags on the rear to "re-Level" the truck every time I hook up a trailer
My trailers are about 11,000 to 13,000 lbs. and are usually bumper pull equipment trailers or GN horse trailers I've not towed large Fivers like Daves

Subscribing. I took the tires off my 2011 and had them powder coated and plan on putting them on the 2021. They are effectively 35x12.5x20 I am going to try to put one on the front this week to see if I will have issues. Will let you know.

I tow regularly between 8-12,000lbs. Lifted hasn't bothered me much. Just be mindful of what's going on. Outa site outa mind, doesn't work. Pay attention to your lifted truck and you'll be fine, if that's what you desire.
Although mines not a '20 I don't think it will matter, good luck.
