Allows for a tire size upgrade (ground clearance and better ability off pavement)
if you do a decent level kit with upgraded shocks you’re ride will improve (factory is insanely bad on anything but a perfectly paved road)
can increase suspension travel for more off pavement compliance (again, at least on my 21 the suspension travel is non existent and you can tell over a bump of any size)
there’s reasons to level and there’s also a solution to achieve the better off pavement ride while keeping the trucks ability towing/hauling with airbags.
we’re not talking about a 12” lift and 40+” tires that kill the capabilities of a truck. But whether you believe it or not there are level kit options out there that improve the offroad ride and keep the towing capabilities…..all the while looking much better than your truck to boot lol.
NONSENSE!...trucks should be kept stock....with rake.....because they're trucks....and they should only be bought to do truck things....like towing....and haul heavy things...and they should only appeal to all sheeple in stock form from the factory,because the engineers are all knowing and know how to please the masses....and we are too irresponsible to modify OUR trucks with a level kit,with airbags to compensate when needed(and not squat),and adjust our headlights to be considerate of other motorists,and put bigger tires on-even if others have already done it...and shocks,and stabilizers,and Linex,and intakes,SHAME ON YOU....shame on you all......modifiers....pffft.
Part of my reason for choosing the Super Duty was looks. I have friends that own Chevy and Ram, but I personally feel that Ford has the best looking HD truck. Vehicle styling, and what is appealing in an individuals eyes is a big factor in automobile ownership. That has been the case for generations, and I don't believe it is age dependent. A front level is pretty tame actually considering how extreme some will go with their vehicles.
Yep, same here. Over the past 40 years I've done almost every modification available including cold air intake, long tube headers, cat back exhausts, lift and leveling kits, big wheels/tires, tuner kits, roush and procharger superchargers, big cams/high perf heads, computer chips/reflash, etc. After spending big bucks for those mods over the years today I'm perfectly happy to keep my 2021 F250 7.3l gasser totally stock. Dang, I wasted a lot of money on dumb upgrades. The superchargers were the most fun, but the high engine temps and overheating disasters when towing weren't worth it at all.
I bought my current 2019 F250 used with about 33,000 miles and it already had the leveling kit. Personally, I like the way it sits and rides when NOT towing or hauling. However, with a heavy load, the nose rises and it's not efficient. Adding the RAS HD suspension helps a lot, but still not what I like when loaded.
Likely not something I would do on my own and especially now that I've experienced it. I will not be leveling the 2022. I will move the RAS HD from the 2019 to the 2022 and add SumoSprings Coil pads on the front. But going to leave the rake alone from here on.
When I bought my house, it did all of the house things that a house is designed to do. The builder is an expert and knew exactly what every potential owner would want or need in a home. Luckily, I am super smart and frugal, so in the past 15 years I have made no wasteful or pointless modifications to make this house my personal home.
I don't understand folks that assign personality traits to others based on vehicle modifications. I'm a grown 52 year old man and have owned lifted trucks, leveled trucks and lowered sports cars. None of those modifications said anything about me other than I like lifted trucks, leveled trucks and lowered sports cars.
I still love lifted trucks. To me, a current generation Super Duty with a 6" lift and 37" tires on 20" wheels looks awesome. I have enough discretionary income to make those modifications, but that configuration does not work for the way I use my truck. The compromise was to level it and add some slightly beefier than stock tires. I like the way it looks when unloaded. I added air bags so when I hitch up the fifth wheel, I can maintain that level stance. As a bonus, the airbags also improve ride quality when towing. I towed a few thousand miles prior to leveling the truck, and a few thousand miles since. I notice absolutely no difference in performance. Every time I tow my trailer I am blown away by how comfortable and confidence inspiring the experience is. Just because a truck is a tool doesn't mean that it can't be fun as well.
Have a 19 with the snow plow springs and did not see a need to level. Sits pretty close as is. I added 34 inch tires from my 150 that I traded and the clearance lights hit the garage door opening seal when pulling in for maintenance/work on it..

I have a 2020 and plan on putting the front springs rear blocks and the set of shocks from a 2019
The dealer where I bought my 2019 asked me if I wanted to purchase a leveling kit for my truck. I asked him why. He said it will bring the rear down to level with the front of the truck. I told him no thanks, I have a leveling kit sitting at the side of my house. It's about 30' long, and when hooked up to the truck, levels it out just fine, thank you.

Agree 110%!
I could have wrote your post except I’m 10 years older and have a lowered 58 Ford instead of sports cars.
These haters remind of a guy I used to work with. His hobby was fine wines and he thought my fetish with vehicles was huge waste of money…Drinking a $100 bottle of wine and the peeing it down the toilet seemed like a waste to me.
Main difference between him and some of the forum members here is that we agreed to disagree!
