Drove it 800 miles stock to get a feel for range. Ended up going with the Rough country 3” lightning leveling kit and bought some raptor take offs on offer up! No rubbing at full lock, but it sure is close! Glad I didn’t have to cut anything.

Gonna sell my stock wheels and tires in case anyone is interested. Located in San Diego.

Interesting. I'd love to have some stock 17" F150 wheels and tires for winter but I'm afraid they won't fit over the rotors. How close are the wheels to the rotors?

Someone else in the forums fit 17”s fine, but these have a taper and touched the caliper so I used a spacer to push it out .5 inches and now it clears. Wasn’t happy about it but with the offset they don’t stick out and I love the way it sits

How much do you think it affected your range?

I’d say 10 percent or so. I went from 2.3 mi/kw to 2.1

Did the 3" level effect suspension or handling?

It feels the same. I can feel the aggressive tread a little more. But also got more space in the tire. Bigger tire and a smaller wheel 😅

question is whether this lifting affects sensor accuracy for things like pre-collision, hands-free blue cruise, etc.

I believe that’s been discussed somewhere on the forums. Since I have a pro, I only have pre collision and it has gone off

Darn - thought I read that a 2" level helped stiffen the suspension a bit.

as for the bigger tire on a smaller wheel. I'm looking at the same thing.... when I need new tires some day.
