Anyone with any insight to this? I’m mainly concerned about how rough the ride will be compared to how it is now. It’s a 2013 platinum.

I didn't notice much of a difference in ride change, I have a 2012 that I put the Ready Lift leveling kit on and eventually added Bilstein 5100s and ran 35s.


Probably not the answer you're looking for but I recently just pulled all that stuff off and leveled it the other way by putting the front back to stock height and taking the block out of the back. It still clears the 35s just fine and it's nice loading stuff with my tailgate about 5" lower than it used to be.

It may stiffen up a little, most people don't notice it. Make sure you replace the shocks with longer ones, most folks use a shock extender instead of buying the correct length shock.

I thought the 250s were pretty much leveled? Compared to the F150 they sure do look leveled.

Not too familiar with Fords but GM products are notorious for being hard on tires and alignments when leveled. I have know several people who did it and removed it.

I know this for a fact. I had a 2014 f 250 and I have never onwed a rougher driving vehicle....I have a GMC 3500 now and it rides better than my Tahoe did....I don't know how they do it but the GMs ride is heads and shoulders above Fords and Dodge...I can drive the GMC on washbuckle roads at 30 MPH and it doesn't bounce out of control...the ford couldn't do more than about 10 and it was almost out of control...rode fine under a load but unloaded it was miserable...
