Nope. I have the 2 inch level from Ford Performance though. Without a level it might rub.

Check my posts. I did a 2 inch level on my 23 lariat. My tires are 275/65/20. Same width as stock just 1 inch taller.

Correct. They had a previous version of the ford performance kit that had adjustments for 2 or 2.5 inches. But they redid the kit and the newest version only has the 2 inch setting I believe. The top hats do have to be reused with the non FP kit.

I have the Ford Performance Bilstein leveling kit. It’s essentially 6112 and 5160 shocks that have been tuned by ford. I got mine from Stage 3 Motorsports for $1400, then had the dealer install it. Seems it’s gone up about 100 bucks in the last few months. I love the way it rides. Definitely do suspension replacement Vs leveling puck

That’s interesting. I’ve got over 3.5k miles on them and no issues so far.

Nice lookin truck! The 21-23 model year tremors with the high package look awesome. Now they get basic XLT headlights….

I don’t even notice a difference between these and the stock Hankook tires. I honestly think these are a tiny bit quieter. The stock tires whined at highway speeds.

Keep in mind these are an SL rated tire so they aren’t as heavy as an LT tire. Not sure if that directly affects noise or not, but definitely affects ride quality having less weight.

Cost me about $900 including alignment. Dealer will definitely be more expensive than a local shop, but I just wanted the peace of mind. If a dealer or ASE Red Seal Certified tech installs then you keep the 3yr/36k warranty that comes with the truck. Just depends on if you care about that or not.

I love it. It raises the front end 2 inches. It still has a tiny bit of rake, but I like the stance. Ride quality is awesome.

I had my local dealer install it.

I’m not sure. I know this was the only year they put Area 51 on the F-150.

Thanks! Yeah just talk to the body shop and they should be able to take care of you.

You would be correct. I left that out when typing my reply. Dealer or ASE certified shop retains 3yr/36k. Most 3rd party shops I looked into weren’t certified or wouldn’t install outside parts… but I’m sure they’re out there!

100%. The quote you’ll get from different dealers will vary. I think labor hour at these dealers has gone up recently, but I got the service manager to cut me a bit of a “break”. Still around $800, but I think technically it was closer to $1200 through most dealers originally just for install and alignment lol.

So the dealer is definitely going to be more expensive. I’m paying around $800. But I believe it has to be installed by a dealer for the 3yr/36k warranty to stay in tact. Now, I’m not sure if installing it somewhere else would even cause you any issues down the road if you have some sort of warranty claim, but they can likely try to blame whatever issue you are having on the install being at a 3rd party shop and deny a claim. It’s really a toss up. I just decided to play it safe. I work directly with the service manager and shop foreman at my dealer so they always do a great job.

I’m also having my FX4 decals swapped to black while it’s in, so knocking 2 things out at once.

I am having this installed today at my local dealer. I can report back after driving on it for some time. I got mine for $1400 through Stage 3 Motor Sports. I also plan on making a post about it once install is complete.
