2025 F150 Lariat can not be leveled

[ksdon]

My deal told me that they can not put the Ford Performance level my truck due to all the stock electronics on the Lariat. This includes Dynamic Bending headlights, LaneKeeping, 360 Cameras, Blue Cruise and what ever else is in the Lariat package 501A. They said I need to go to Mel Hamilton in Wichita Ks as they are a Ford Racing Performance Dealer.

OK......Wichita is 2 hours away so I called. Mel said NOPE they will not do it because they have no way to clear all the codes that the Level creates. I said it is a Ford Product. They said yes it is and they have no way to clear all the codes it will throw due to the the high tech systems.

I know some on this forum have done a 2025 Lariat 2 inch level. How did you get it done and what happened to all the codes that Mel Hamilton said would occur? Where did you get your level installed if your does not have all these issues?

I am willing to live without a level buy would prefer to get one done. So any suggestions?

2 1/4 inch level installed on mine. Never had a issue or any codes.

I thank you for the reply. I have read other such posts and it is puzzling!!

the Ford Performance level

Which Ford performance PN are you referring to?

Tell them to call Shelby and ask how they get their Lariats down on ride tech kits without issues.

first thing you need to understand is your dealer is a dumbass

Ford saying that they can’t clear codes on a ford? Hmmm.

leveled my 21 lariat with all your listed options with absolutely no issue.

The original poster was referring to a 2025 model not a 2021. Apparently there are different challenges in the 2025 vs the 2021. I’m curious to see how this pans out.

Not sure about raising the front, but when I installed my RAS I removed the factory lift blocks and have had no issues. Thinking the dealer is full of it.

Think about it. If you load the vehicle down, it will change the "level" and you won't be getting any error codes.

Yeah I understand. I’m just stating that I have all the same technology and haven’t had any issues amongst thousands of others. I’m sure some things have changed for the 25s but I’d be willing to bet he would perfectly fine doing it.

At this point I think you are correct. I know that Ford has loaded these trucks with a ton of new systems that can be very complicated. Now as people try different ways to add their own ideas to personalize there trucks we are seeing some different results. It takes a while to find out which changes reveal which results. Fun times to sit back and watch the show.

I know Ford's Blue Cruise came out in 2021 Adaptive Cruise in 2006.....I do not know if any of my systems are newer that on a 2021. The Ford PDF for the Level clearly show the Front Radar and the steps to check it after the Level is install but is silent about the half dozen other systems?

I believe more calls to other installers is needed before I will try to get it done.
If your 2025 Lariat or higher trim has the Level and it was done by a Ford dealership would you mind telling who the dealer is and what town?

I sent an email to Shelby America to inquire about what they do when the modify the 2024/25 Lariat into their Super Snake. They use Ride Tech 3/5 kits on those trucks.

I just looked at the Shelby page. WOW! I would take one or the Baja model.
Except, I could not afford the payments.

I live on a dirt road so those Shelby lowered F150's would not work but the lifted would!
