I’ve tried searching threads for late

Carli makes one of the best, but it's an investment.

Maybe look at BDS, ReadyLift, or Rough Country. These are all good places to start. If you go more than 1.5", you'll need to look at caster shims and a track bar bracket, or brackets for the radius arms or new radius arms.

It must be a forum feature since the link returns zero results for me now too.

A search for "leveling kit" in the subject of threads for the 2023+ section returns some hits but I guess I can't share the search results.

Pallets of cinder blocks make your truck squat? That sucks.

Mine rides level empty or with 3,XXXlbs in the bed of it. Best of both worlds and I don’t have to drive around with a crazy amount of rake unloaded.

Wasn’t hard to do & performs better than stock. So I don’t see the harm in making improvements so long as things are done properly.

I don't have the money to go try multiple leveling kits to see if one actually rides better than another. I'm sure there is a difference, but at what cost?
For me, I wanted the truck level. I wanted a couple inches more than factory, I tow a lots, So I don't want a big lift. I'm a general contractor and work with my truck and haul my horses around in free time. I don't go mud bogging in my truck. So no need for that kind of a build.

I have the ReadyLift level kit on my 2023 F350 Platinum. Coil Springs, Falcon Shocks, track bar relocate, shims I also have the ReadyAir dual air bags on the rear so I can keep it level when I hook up a trailer I run about 8psi when I'm empty and 50 psi when my GN horse trailer is hooked up.

I think my leveled truck rides as good as my stock truck before I leveled. I've currently got 39,000 miles on my truck, So I do spend a lot of time in. All the parts been holding up very well,

Or go with fully threaded adjustable radius arms & leave the OEM caster / camber shims alone while running factory brackets.

Not even needing an alignment : just center the steering wheel when finished

a spacer on top or bottom of the stock springs isn’t going to change the ride at all.

no matter the brand or price.

certain shocks may help a little but nothing drastic imo.

Did this set up serve you well? Any issues with the onboard scale?

If it increases the distance between the axle and bump stop it should improve the ride by giving more usable travel. I would look into kits that allow for that.
