2015 F250 / Leveling Kit

I have a 2015 F250 Ultimate Lariate 4WD 6.7L that I am interested in having a leveling kit installed. Local shop quoted me $350 installed for a 2.5" procomp kit, which is front only. 2 questions: Will a 2.5" front lift make it bulldog? What are your thoughts on the procomp lift?

Another local shop quoted me at $650 for a readylift or rough country 3.5" front and 2" rear lift. Think that is a better option? The largest tire I would run would be 35" x 12.50".

Any pics would be great!!

thanks for any help!

AFAIK, the 14+ F250's got the "4 inch" rear blocks from the F350's, as opposed to the standard "2 inch" blocks, so unless you have the snow plow prep springs on the front of your truck, you probably do have a little "normal rake" that a leveling kit would un-do, without over-doing (bulldogging?)

Those tires will clear fine, with maybe just a little paint rub on the arms at full lock. Nothing to be concerned with, tho.

As for the "full truck" lift, for that price, it almost sounds to me like perhaps the shop isn't aware of the already taller rear blocks being installed on the new 250's, and are planning on doing the front spring perch spacers with 2" taller rear blocks (but which you already have)


Oh, and we require pics around here

i can comment on the ready lift 2.5 level kit. i have a drw and it got my front level with the rear on the downside the track arm drop bracket had my front axle off center. raised it to 3.5 in the front and it was good. also i run 35 12.50 toyo mt's and there is plenty of room for the tires no rubbing.

I'd check and see if you have the 4 inch rear blocks, if so, I would get the front 2.5 installed.

No suspension adjustment at all? I just got my 15 CCSB, Lariat FX4 in Ruby Red, and have been looking to get 35's on it. I pull a 2015 Outback TT, so I don't want to lose in towing capabilities, and do not want to lift due to possible upgrading to a 5er in the future...thoughts?

Is that a 250 or 350? I don't think a 2" lift in the front or all the way around will hurt you any at all in the towing dept. even with a 5th wheel. My new 350 sits a couple inches higher than the 250's I've had which just required me to adjust my hitch block and 5th wheel hitches a couple inches.

The only real bad thing to get into is when the 5th wheel trailer is less than 6" above the bed walls/rail caps. I don't know what the cut off is but in my experience things get scary when there's only 4" there.

I have a 350 SRW long bed and I'm thinking I will need a level kit. There's just a tad too much rake to mine.

That Dually is Sick...I really was on the fence about getting the Dually Vs. SRW, but I wanted something more practical for the 75% use when not towing...great looking rig though.

That looks great, that is about the aggressiveness that I want with mine. Any issues with the 37's on the stock wheels, I am looking at using my stocks as well. Which suspension system did you go with? I like the components on the Ready Lift 4.5 inch kit. Also, with the 4inch lift is there any issues with ride rite air bag systems?

Do you want your truck to look like it is "squatting like a girl"? I don't like it and think it is BS I would have to add blocks to level the truck out.

Why? And I have to add the rest of this because this site thinks "Why" is too short an answer to post.
