my truck with a level, the 17-19 rear blocks and rear air squats less under any trailer than it did stock
With the 2” blocks the 20+ trucks come with they look like dog**** with tongue heavy trailers when stock. I couldn’t stand it and was adding air regardless so I decided to level at the same time and don’t regret it
of course there’s also different strokes for different folks and that’s what makes the world go round
What did it do to ride quality ( I know, not in the same sentence)?
Depends on how you achieved the lift. Used shock extenders and a spacer, probably rides like crap. In fact, will.
Use quality components from someone like PMF Suspension, youll have a great riding truck. Get replacement springs, upgraded shocks and make sure your axle is aligned well.
I typically level my new trucks with a 2" level. And I usually add air bags, Since I tow a lot and yes it squats with out the bags.
I like my trucks being just a lttle taller than factory OEM height. But if I lift them too much, I can't get into underground parking or car washes. Which seem to like that 7'2" standard around here. I'm a builder and I always put 8' tall garage doors. But I know a lot of production builders use 7' garage doors and most lifts make the trucks too tall to fit in a 7' door.
My 2023 with a 2" Readylift on the front and LogIQ dual air bags on the rear with LT285/65R20 tires with right about 84" tall . So I still fit in the car wash and most of the parking garages.
Don't cheap out and use Pucks. If you are going to Level the truck, change out the front springs, use an adjustable track bar or track bar relocate and new castor shims. Every time I tried just using spacers, I got the death wobble. I have not had that problem since I started doing levels with new springs
I don''t run any running boards or nerf bars, the way the stock F350 sits is just about as tall as I am comfortable getting in and out on my own. These things are so dang tall as it is, I don't care for any more height if it doesn't provide additional functionality.
I did the 2" spacers, new shocks, caster bushings and the adjustable track bar. then I had to put air bags in because I actually do use it for a pickup.
It looks much better, and it works fine. but I have to wonder if it's really worth it anymore.
