Hello people. I own a 2021 XLT screw with the 2.7
I just installed the Eibach pro truck leveling struts. It is advertised as 0-2” of lift on the front. I did the 2” which is the tallest slot for the snap ring. Did some measurements and it ended up raising the front 3”.
Question 1: Will these settle over time and if so how much?
Next thing is tires. I currently have a 275/60r20 BFG Ko2 which are practically brand new. That being said considering I need everything to be perfect I will be selling those and getting some 35s
Question 2: Can I fit 35x12.5 on this setup?
Overall I don’t know what to do because I don’t know why the front was lifted so high. I don’t want it to drop over time and create rub. What are your suggestions?

Can you please post which Eibach you installed ? As far as fitment goes, with stock wheels and anything 2.5 and over , you should be find running that size. Some new UCA should also be considered. Ive done it with 35x12.5x17 on Bisltien 6112 and 3.5 ECO

Nice looking truck! I cant speak to the Eibach, I am running Ford Performance Fox for 3 years and have had no settling (heavier Powerboost Lariat) As far as tire fitment, some have posted slight rub on the UCA at full lock with 12.5 wider tires, sounds like 11.5 on stock wheels is pretty safe - dont think the 35 tall is an issue with your lift.
