“Best” leveling kit?

[Tyler17]

Do the Ford Performance Fox’s need to be adjusted down too or just the Roush and regular Fox ones? I had the Fox package on my 14 and my fiance has a puck style level on her 13 and the ride was no comparison so I definitely want to go the Fox route again. Im just not sure which Fox set to go with, or to just wait a few months and see if they come out with a new set specifically for the 21s.

Is the a consensus “best” quality kit for level on the 21’s? I’ve seen references to rough country, icon, mammoth, motofab, etc.

Does it matter which one? Any better than others?

I added a 2" front leveling kit and a 1" rear block kit from Autospringkits.Com spoke to Kevin to custom size the front and rear sizes I wanted. Just wanted to give my 2021 2wd a little more of 4wd look / a ltitle more aggressive stance. Also added the F150 decal and blacked out Ford badges to break up some of the red...
I have 20" factory rims and tires, XLT Black sports pkg.

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.

Do you have the max tow package by chance? I’m wondering what my fox shocks will look like on my truck with max tow

Does anyone have any experience with these? Was going to go Fox but hearing they may fail prematurely as they are not specific to the 2021 has me looking around. Really don’t want to wait until April, or later, to get the new Fox kit.

Talk about late to the game. I wonder what’s different about this kit that needed a 1.5 half after the production of the vehicle to develop when they specifically state that the current version fits with a height adjustment.

Then they used 2015-2020 products, which WILL FIT our trucks, but not designed for them. Apparently, the front strut mounting points are different on the 2021+ so there is some additional stanchion wear anticipated if using the 2015-2020 stuff. Valving and stroke/stanchions will probably be proprietary for 2021+s. Rear mounting points and suspension travel sound identical, so using 2015-2020 rears seems to be fine.

Talked to Stage 3 today about the Bilstein availability. They think late February. So, I'm leaving my truck as is for now. I haven't decided between the Bilstein 5100s using the OEM spring vs full coil over Fox or Bilstein 6112s. Frank at Stage 3 said 5100s using the OEM spring are really quite good, especially if on a budget. As discussed on separate threads, I'm leaning towards 5100s at the 2nd to highest setting to reduce preload a little and maintain a little rake for trailering.

I don't know anything about them, but it would be interesting to talk to them about why they consider the Gen13 (front) products to be compatible with Gen14s but Bilstein and Fox don't. Roush (with Fox hardware) did the same thing... https://www.roushperformance.com/2015-2016-f150-fox-suspension.html

In the Northwest we have a tire chain called Les Schwab that lifetime warranties everything they install, no questions asked. So obviously I want Les Schwab to install them, despite the fact I could do it myself. Problem is, they won't install anything that doesn't say 2021 on it for a 2021 truck. So there goes the Bilstein and Fox options until their official release...
