F150 level and tire question questions
Posted on 3/19/18 at 9:45 pm
Posted on 3/19/18 at 9:45 pm
I just purchased a CPO 16 KR with only 7 thousand miles on it. Dealer says it has not been leveled but to me It Looks level and I measure the front only 1/4 inch lower than the back.. i measured from the ground to the top of the wheel wall...I want to put a 33 and the research I have done says I need a 2 inch level on the front. I defiantly don’t want to ride higher in the front.. I like the way it sits right now I just want bigger tires.. Should I just take it to a shop and let them look at it and see if it is leveled already? Also has anyone tried to put a 33 without leveling? I’m thinking 33 11.5 instead of the 12.5.. just because the 12.5 looks like it may rub.. I would really rather not do any trimming

Either it has a front spacer/upgraded shocks or it doesn't.

If it has a strut spacer you should be able to see it. Google leveling kits for your truck, or watch an install on YouTube, and you'll see what to look for. The height of the spacer is not the height of the lift, tho. A 2" level only uses a 1.25" spacer, or something around that size. Look up different size kits and they should tell you the size of spacer/lift.
If the front is only 1/4" lower than the front, then it probably has a leveling kit already. A 2" level should easily clear 33" tires. I have a 2.5" level and fit 34"X11" tires with no rubbing.

If it's leveled, you'll see the leveling kit installed. If it has spacers, you can see the spacers. Why bring it to the shop? Unless you don't know what either look like?

You’re fretting over a quarter inch?
You will easily clear 33s with a level

That silver puck is a leveling kit. Most of them are black.
Note: I have no idea what kind of vehicle this is. But, it works the same way with an F150.

Just look and see if it has a leveling kit on it...It's easy to see lol.
As for bigger tires, I have a 2.5 inch leveling kit with 33s on my F-150 and they don't rub at all. So you should be good

my 2010 had a 2" kit w 33's. no rub.
my 2016 has a 2" kit w 35's. slight rub on hard turn into a driveway
As to to OP, if it is already looks and measured as "level" then it has been leveled already and the guy at the dealership just didn't know. No way it would be that close without a kit already.

But really, I went through this recently with my 2016 F-150. I am putting a 2" Rough Country leveling kit with 275/65/18 Maxxis Mudder Buckshot II's. Should have it done by next week.

On my '17 Lariat, I have a 2" Supreme Suspension level and a Falken Wildpeak AT3 in 305/55/R20 (33.2"x12.3") with no issues.
The top of my wheel well is also about 1/4" lower in the front.

2009 with 1.5" Autospring running 35x11.5R20 Ridge Grapplers. No rubbing or trimming.

How you like those ridge grapplers? I have the trail grapplers but thinking about going with those next round for less road noise.

Will post pictures tomorrow who does good work on the northshore? Tires and level(if needed) I’ve got a rec for Hanks in Hammond looking at the 33 11.5 20 nitto ridge grapplers or 33 12.5 Toyo rts

I ordered the AutoSpring kit myself, then had Gateway Ford in Ponchatoula put it in and do the alignment.

Love them!! I had BFG all terrains before, and I don't notice too much of a difference in road noise. It is far better than you'd think. Buddy of mine had them coming from trail grapplers, and he pretty much sold me on them when I drove his truck.
