So i have decided to level my truck and add some AT tires, planning on going with Nitto Ridge Grapplers in Lt 295/70/R18. Then im looking for recommendations on shops and or brands yall recommend I go with or stay away from for leveling (thinking a 2.5" kit) my 2021 F-250. I know I want a kit with the track bar relocation bracket and both 4wheel parts and Allout offroad have recommended replacing steering stabilizer (Fox 983-02-143). Also probably going to add Bilstein 5100's all the way around at the same time. What do yall think?

I think they look great stock but I have nothing against a leveling kit and AT tires. My buddy leveled his and it lifted the truck a couple of inches. He couldn't get into his work parking garage so he had to take it off. Other than that and possible gooseneck/5th wheel towing I don't see an issue.

Best looking trucks that have been made in a long time. I hope Ford keeps it for a while. Here's my new to me F350 6.7 Fx4.

As long as you're ok with Carolina squat when you tow anything, sure!

Just get a little bit bigger tire and good shocks. You don't need a leveling kit.

I DO have a 1" spacer on my F350, but Its to offset the heavy bumper and a winch. Still clear 35s no issue

I don't get the 2-3" leveling kits". It's really not necessary if you don't have extra weight up front or intend on towing things you should be if you own a 3/4ton+ truck

Here's mine. It's a Readylift 2.5" coil lift. Comes with front and rear bilstein shocks, track bar relocation bracket, brake line extensions, and sway bar adjustment. It does NOT come with caster shims. I ordered a pair of Carli 2 degree caster shims. Also ordered Carli high mount and low mount steering stabilizers. As I understand it, the low mount replaces the OEM stabilizer and the high mount is a supplemental damper. Both are adjustable. It's a 6 week wait for those. Tires are 37" 12.5 20 Toyo R/Ts. They rub on the sway bars and radius arms.

I think the size tires you're looking at will look great on your truck with 18" wheels, and shouldn't rub. I got the 37s because I like my stock wheels and I think they look better with 20" wheels.

All out in richmond did mine, and they answered all my stupid questions and were really patient with me.

I'm all in for a small lift on a truck. 4 inch being absolute max with the right tires. But I learned my lesson on leveling kits. I actually got the adjustable bilstein 5100s on my f150 and leveled the front to max stance. It looks great when not towing anything. But even if I put my small 14 ft single axle trailer on it, I'm staring at the sky and I hate that. If I were you, I'd just update to the bilsteins and keep them at a minimum adjustment and go with bigger tires. I'm pretty sure the f250s can fit 35's on a stock setup.

If I was keeping the truck, I'd probably take them off or add a rear block in the back. But I'm currently in the market for an f250 or f350 Tremor.

Also, IIRC, Ford lowered the super duty ride height in 2020 for better towing with 5th wheels, fuel economy, cargo floor height, etc.

The F350's by design have a bigger rake from front to back in anticipation for towing. Not sure if this is the same foe the Tremor package but it's one thing I've learned on my new truck.

295/70r18 will fit no problem. I run those on my 2014 F250. Only thing with the level kit is your lights will blind everyone when you put a load in it. Put some airbags or something under the rear end if you want to go the level route.

I've had the Nitto- didn't last on my dodge. Switched to Cooper's. ST Maxx for 100,000 miles now (2 sets) with pretty regular hauling a 12,000lb horse trailer. Pretty decent offroad, still tame and quiet on road. Fixing to purchase another set for the half ton as well. Pops was impressed enough he put them on his dually and 3/4 ton. They all balance like a dream, and seem to last pretty well.

So having friends at the dealership is nice, the installed a 2.5" level, track bar relocation and upgraded steering stabilizer setup. All additions will be covered under warranty by the dealership. Then ended up going with Nitto Ridge Grappler 295/70R18's.

Picked up a "used" 2020 f250 yesterday with 15k miles. Came with ranch hand bumpers front and back, weather guard box , fox shocks with some sort of level and 37inch toyo open country tires. Truck is a monster.

Very nice, ranchhand bumpers front and back as well as amp research running boards are on the list of things that will be added eventually!

I'm thinking of getting rid of my front brush guard for an OEM bumper. It looks good but I'd rather have the payload and extra 1.5 of turning radius.

Great looking truck!
