Can someone recommend some actual brands/model #s for leveling kits? I don't want to go larger than 35s on my '17 F250. Gas mileage already sucks enough with the 6.2L. But when my factory tires need to be replaced I'd like to upgrade a bit. Thanks for any info.

My current mileage on 37s and deleted is about exactly what I saw on stock tires with emissions. I’m hauling a lot more than I was, and it’s tempting to drop back to 35s when these need to be replaced.

1. Factory tires are 34.5” so you may not need a lift.
2. I ran a Ready Lift 2-1/2” on my 15 and now have a 3” Rough Country lift on my 17 and it is superior in drivability.
Reason is the 3” has a radius arm drop bracket which keeps the front end geometry near stock so a proper castor angle can be maintained which keeps the truck from wondering the road.
Ride is like stock on both.

What tunes are getting that kind of gain? I never saw near that improvement when I deleted my 15

I’m running a readylift 2.5 SST kit and really like it. I’ll text you a pic shortly. I’m running 295/65-20 (35.1 inches tall). Not super expensive but has everything you need in the kit.
