    I leveled my 19' with a 2.5" ready lift kit, steering stabilizer on 37's... Drive ability I no different to me, have a friend that has a brand new 21' Tremor and I think they ride similarly...

    You will lose fuel mileage! But I didn't buy a 3/4 ton truck expecting great fuel mileage!

        I did a 3:1 level with 35's and it's perfect. No cons in my book

          My 2019 left it stock.
          However i recently googled the tremor package which i think is bigger tires guys claim they are getting 18 on highway might get that next time

          Did you recalibrate your speedo for the bigger tires? 17 to 13 sounds like a big drop in MPG. Just wondering as I am looking at a 2014 now.

              I put 2" MaxRacing aluminum spacers under the spring pads of my 2019 F350 when I put my front full replacement bumper on a couple of weeks ago. No change in steering/handling and looks great.

                I’m running 35’s factory. No issues at all . I did trim the valance to make it look taller.

                  The bigger difference that you are seeing in fuel mileage is from the larger tires.....not so much from the leveling. Bigger, heavier, and wider tires will cause immediate and very noticeable negative changes in MPG no matter what the level or lift is on the truck.

                    FWIW, 37’s look perfect on these trucks with a level. I actually use my truck to pull on a regular basis and the large tires eat up power and more importantly, can cause issues when pulling goosenecks because the bed is too high.

                    If I had my truck just for fun and wanted it to look a certain way then I’d definitely go with a level and 37’s. I don’t know how to describe it other than “that is the way a truck is supposed to look.” It just isn’t feasible for me with the way I use mine.

                      It’s their new sport trim package. I love it. Especially the headlights. Almost got a tremor until I saw this one. Thanks for the compliment.

                        tremor is the ready lift system put on the 2019 frame.

                        2020 was dropped by 1" over all to try and fix the death wobble issue.

                          I noticed on mine they installed a dual steering stabilizer to try and correct that also.

                            Now run 37’s and I get 12-14 mpg. But dang it looks good


                            I did 35’s at first then went to 37’s. Wish I would have never went to 37’s.

                              Only advice I can give, is to make sure they use leveling springs and not the “pucks”. I owned an off-road shop for years and the “pucks” take away from the ride of the vehicle. I just did my Ram 3500 dually and I used the Bilstein springs and dual reservoir shocks. Ride like a Cadillac....for a dually!! Lol
