Ford F-150 Leveled or Lifted "Long Bed" 157" Wheel Base Photo Thread 1000017700


Eibach front coilovers backed down from 90mm (collar to end cap) to 70mm yielding a 2" level (wanted to keep some rake when empty).
Wheels are KMC Impact 18's +18mm offset
Tires are 285/70r18 Falken Wildpeak AT4Ws.

Best combo I found to maximize tire size with an aftermarket wheel with no trim or rub under any conditions forward or back.

Is that the stance with those Fox 2.0s installed straight out of the box or did you adjust them before install? That looks perfectly level which is exactly what I’m going for and I really like Foxes.

So I originally had stock coils with a 2" spacer.
I Ordered the foxes from Stage 3, they were supposed to come preset to 2", but that were actually on the shortest setting (stock-ish).
The installer didn't call me before installing them, so he just swapped out the stock ones with the foxes, and left the 2" spacer.
It's probably sitting at about 2.5" of lift right now. That's .5" of lift from the foxes on lowest setting, and 2" of lift from a spacer.
As soon as I have time, I'll get the 2" spacer removed, and have the foxes cranked up to the 2" setting.

Ask and ye shall receive. 4" BDS lift with Method 18" wheels.

One more for you, +0 or +18 on your offset? Being told elsewhere that I can't run +18 or I'll rub upper control arms, but see a few on Custom Offsets with that setup reporting no rubbing.

I'll have mud flaps so going to +0 isn't a huge deal if it's going to be close.

I believe they are +18 as that's all Method offers for the 316 in an 18" wheel (https://www.methodracewheels.com/co...oducts/316-matte-black?variant=31755738480701).

No rubbing with the BDS lift although had to trim a small part of the plastic valance in the front.

Size: 20x9 Offset: 18. More info in signature.
Would you have been able to clear the front wheels/tires without a level (at stock ride height)?
