New F150 4x2. Lift or level?

[Yolobaggins]

Hey all

I will be getting my first ever truck in a couple weeks from the factory and I’m already thinking about mods, etc

I have never lifted or leveled my vehicle before but after looking at pictures I think I would like to do something of the sort

Since I have a 4x2 (Texas) should I level or lift the truck first (or both)?

Additonally, can this be done from dealer as an add-on once it gets delivered?

thanks!

welcome, I bought my 4x2 STX 5.0 Oct 30th...Im doing a level, front up using the Readylift billet pucks. The dealer can install and do alignment for you.

Thank you, will it void any warranty or anything?

Additionally, how big of a lift did you do?

I lowered my 2wd crew cab in the back 2" with shackles and installed Viking double adjustable coil overs in the front. Handling is amazing!

Lower!!

I heard a saying maybe a year ago, and I like it. "Slam a 2WD, jack up a 4WD." I lowered by current 2WD 3.5 by using shackles, and love it. I have a 4WD 5.0 on order, and plan on raising the front.

Bottom line really is how are you using it? Off-roading, or something that may require ground clearance? Lift it. Street truck/pavement princess? Lower it for mpg/handling/performance/fun.

Shouldnt void warranty. The Readylift 2.0 will lift front about 2 to 2.5", and you should be able to get 34" tires easily.

Have pics? Did you adjust pinion angle?

Not sure what the rake is on the 2wd, but think a front level with 34s would look great. If you wanted a little higher you could go with a thicker leveling puck and add the 4X4 blocks on the back. That would basically get you a leveled 4x4 look without all the extra expense of a true lift.

No pics...and I didn't do the install...so don't know.
