Levelled on stock tires

[SDHNTR]

Anyone got a pic of their truck levelled on stock tires? Is there too much space in the wheel well?

I can’t stand all the excessive factory rake. But I dislike big tires even more, well I should say I dislike wide tires even more. Unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be any way to go taller without going wider.

Will it look goofy lifted 2” up front with 275/70/18’s?

I had to go back a few years in photos.

I removed the rear block between the springs and axle and used 2wd u-bolts. Here is a picture with stock wheels and Roush wheels. Both are stock tire diameter.

Why all the hate for the rake?? Seems factory enginners put it there for a reason. Ima keep mine factory.

Well said. It also reduces your ground clearance. A lot of people think Ford includes the rake so that the truck doesn't squat as bad when you attached a trailer to it. While this may be true to some extent, I think they also do it to increase fuel economy. When you level a truck and get rid of the ridiculous air dam (which the Tremor thankfully doesn't have), your fuel economy goes into the toilet.

So the rake has benefits sure. It just doesn't look very good.

with the Yote V8 I might just mall queen this puppy with some phat ass racing slicks on the rear end and go around tryna race everyone. lol

I replaced the OEM shocks with Rough Country shocks, which raised the front end of the truck, leveling it. Other than being tired of the stock shocks, I did this primarily to increase the approach angle. The tires are stock-size BFG K03s.

Childhood story- family friend had a '78 F250 with big helper springs in the back for his camper. We borrowed it for a hardware store run and a trucker on the CB said, "That red truck must get great mileage... it's always going downhill!"

I leveled mine and also added airbags for when I have a trailer on the back.

It was the Motofab 1.5" kit (Puck)

Not quite level. I left about an 1" to .5" of rake. Stock tires and wheels.

Looks great? What kit?

I was considering the Eibach 2R pro kit. Looking to level and keep CV angles as mild as possible.
What is the consensus on best level for CV angles.

Excellent question

HaloLifts Stage 2 Tremor Kit with SPC UCAs and 600lb springs.

The rake is nice when you go into a real acute angle. I know this cause I woke up one morning after romping around the ranch at night and had grass in my bumper and tail pipes haha.

I did a 1.5” Auto Spring puck for now. I couldn’t stand the factory rake. It actually yielded 1.7” of lift in front. It’s still has some rake to it. When I upgrade to tires and wheels I will swap the suspension for something better. Right now it’s good enough. Lost about 1 mpg but also don’t have a reverse Carolina squat so I’m happy. Sorry about the poor quality photos I just snapped them for this.
