Here ya go.

Looks livable to me. I’ll let other F150-experienced experts chime in on the acceptability though. Thanks for posting.

I'd run it (but I don't claim to be an expert). From all the pics I have seen of lifted Tremors, the 2.5" is pushing what I would feel comfortable with for the CVs, but honestly that is what I plan to go with just because the rake is so bad. If I destroy a boot early then I can always drop down to 2", but I personally like the looks of the truck a bit better with the 2.5".

Also by no stretch of the imaginaion an expert, but I feel more comfortable with the 2" vs the 2.5" angle.

Or, split the difference and get the 2.3” from Stage 3 Motorsports. I’m still holding off for Eibach but I too am tired of the rake.

I don't even have my truck yet, and it's possible I won't mind the rake. I'm just getting my ducks in a row in case I look at it and become violently ill due to the rake described and pictured....

My opinion, it doesn’t look AS bad in person, but still bad enough I’d like to tone it down. It doesn’t bother me personally bad enough to blow the money on a spacer/install/alignment when I know Eibach will eventually come out with what I intend on ending up with. That being said, if Eibach hasn’t pulled through in three or four months I may reconsider.

You could always just add a nice aftermarket bumper, load it up with a winch - and boom, you'd settle the front down a bit.

So excited to finally pick up my truck next week. First thing will be the AS 2.0 level. Does anyone know where I can get this done in the St. Louis, MO area. The dealership I bought from in Sullivan, MO said they only install OEM parts and Sunset Ford (big dealership towards St. Louis) said the farm it out but they guy I spoke with didn't know where. Thanks a ton in advance!

Pro Comp 2.5
Before: 4.2" rake
After: 1.4" rake
.....for those of you counting, that's 2.8" rake reduction (rear went down a smidge) with 2.62" measured lift on front.

*fun story, one of the techs working on my truck stole $120 of the $500 cash I had in center console waiting for end of service payment. While checking over truck at home, I found two lower coilover strut bolts were on hand tight. Great Google reviews, affluent area etc.

I think I would have held payment or stopped payment until they made good.
I don't play around on stuff like that, when they called and said payment didn't go through I would explain to them why and that if they wanted the payment they had better rectify the situation.

I hear you. Paid cash and didn't realize bolts were loose till after I got home. I torqued bolts to spec and hope never to hear from that shop again! Gonna hunt for good recommendation on local suspension shop and pay to have front end looked over. A mess.

Why not throw them under the bus here in case someone else is considering using them?

Back to Pro Comp level, some FYIs: definitely more bouncy ride in front now, speed bumps that stock made feel like nothing feel more harsh now. The additional spring preload is overcoming the coils valving/damping ability so now the front feels as springy as the rear (notoriously useless dampers). I'll be keeping a CLOSE eye out for Tremor compatible front coilovers.

Tomorrow mine goes in to Cali Customs here in Oklahoma City to put the AS 2” spacers on and alignment. If anyone is wanting any specific info or pics before/after, just let me know.

Thanks for the review. I am thinking of doing what I have on my 17' - Eibach struts with the stock coils set to stock height and a AS spacer on top.

Attached this video. Hurt my feelings changing all that Tremor orange / gold whatever color we call it lol. They added the RC kit and Fox rear shocks. I used to watch a lot of these Real Deal Neal videos to get an idea of setups before deciding on mine. Great stuff.

My Wheels came in and installed. Man these were pretty heavy. It was fun trying to put them on without scratching them on the rotors and stuff. ICON Compressions Satin Black 18x9 +6 offset / Nitto Ridge Grapplers 295/70/18. I also took pics of the suspension with the wheel off. I know some were curious about the CV's and stuff. Does not rub but most already knew that with this size. Measured front height again with the stock wheels. It settled just a little at 40- 11/16". Height right after install of just the suspension was 40-7/8" about 2 weeks ago.

Looks sharp!

Curious seeing how close your tire clearance is to the crashbar have you noticed any rubbing while turning and accelerating/ braking while going up incline or down a decline?

I have just drove for about a day. I haven't noticed any rubbing but I am paying attention in certain situations to see if there is. As time goes on I will update and will update if any rubbing develops.

AS 2” installed and aligned for $325 in OKC at Cali Customs. All sets of pics have the after shots on top and before on bottom. Very happy with the look, ride, and CV angles.
