“Best” leveling kit?

[Madman]

Anyone install this kit yet? Its the Roush Fox 2.0 kit, its now been certified for 2021's.

I am planning on getting a simple 2" Level Kit but started looking into a couple of these more substantial kits, with shocks and coilovers.

Question:
Are these a substantial upgrade over and above what comes with the FX4 Package? I believe this has upgraded shocks from the stock truck. I've attempted to Google for more information but have come up blank. Does anyone have information on this?

Really nice looking truck! Curious if you noticed any change in MPG with your tire change?

Not so much with the tire change as the level kit. I average 17mpg currently with the level and tires. 3.5 EB

I think it’s definitely a substantial upgrade. There is a lot less float and it’s much smoother when off roading. What I’ve been told is that the roush is a more comfortable on road suspension and the Ford performance ones are better for off road.

Interesting about the Fox 2.0 coil over kit for 2021 f150's. I called Fox directly and Alex @ realtruck.com also call Fox directly, the current Fox 2.0 coil over will fit the 2021, but does not recommend it. was told the shocks will fail prematurely due to slight inward angle different with the 2021 f150's. Fox will release the 2021 version in a few months......icon got anything at this time either........

I just installed, here’s my experience....

Installed the Roush Fox 2.0 kit on my 2021 Lariat FX4 yesterday. Opted against adjusting the Fox fronts because the overall length of the new coilovers were the same as stock, so wasn’t even sure it would actually yield 2” of lift. I figured the new springs would be stiffer, but no way did I expect the results. Took all measurements before and after, here’s what I got....

Front - 3”
Rear - zero (duh)

I’ll try to attach some pictures here

Bottom line, I’ll need to adjust that nut down 5/8 inch, just as Fox recommends (actually, directions say required). That should lower the front about 1”.

Unless you like that much lift. In all fairness, it is level (1/2” of rake)

My plan is to install larger tires, still haven’t settled on which wheels to get

Looks great! How’s the ride after?

The Roush Fox 2.0 is what I want to go with too. How was the install? Did you need to pull vacuum on the hub actuator to remove the hub? Any trouble separating the tie rod and ball joints?

Went with the Rousch kit. I LOVE IT! The ride quality actually improved over stock. Paired it with a set of 295/60/R20 Ridge Grapplers.

Looks good! Any chance you can take a straight side shot with the tires straight. Want to see how the tires fill the wells. My plan is to do the same lift & size tires when I finally get my truck.

That is just an amazingly beautiful truck!
Very photogenic.

Congratulations, enjoy!

I was told the FX4 included upgraded shocks and skid plates.
Having a Motofab 1.5" level kit, along with magnaflow dual exhaust installed next week.

Saw a video that showed a 1.5" kit would bring the front end to the exact rear end level....we'll see!

Sorry I'm just getting back to this thread... been crazy. Have to say, the ride is EXACTLY to my liking. It's much stiffer, eliminating the floaty feeling over bumps without being harsh. The lean in turns is drastically better as well. But again, it's not jolting. We will see after I get the 20" wheels with BFG KO2 installed, as those are much heavier and load range E.

No issues with separating tie rod and ball joints. Everything came apart easy peasy. There's no vacuum to pull on these though. The vacuum style hub was replaced with an electromagnet actuator for the 21's. Just make sure you don't over torque everything putting it back together.
