Lariat FX4 with 1.5" ReadyLift installed

[NevadaBob]

Got the level kit installed in my '24 Lariat yesterday. I think it turned out pretty good. The picture makes it look a little front-high, but in reality it's almost perfectly level.
Now the question is: new wheels and bigger tires? I can easily talk myself into thinking the current tires look too small...

Looks great, but I vote bigger wheels and tires. I did a 2.5" level and drove it with the stock wheels while I waited on the replacement and thought it looked kind of goofy. 275-285/70r17 (or 18" equivalent) looks and rides amazing on the truck.

How much did it affect your mpg? Did the ride feel change any?

Well it's Friday now, and I had the lift installed Wednesday, so I can't say much about the gas mileage. As far as ride, no difference that I can tell. There shouldn't be; it's the same suspension.

Let me know after a couple of tanks of gas. I'm thinking about doing the same thing just waiting for the new version of the bilstein 8112 that fits the 2024 Rangers.

I will also be waiting on shocks for our 2024 Lariat. Hoping that FOX comes out with a set soon. I have the FOX shocks on my 2015 F150 and they are great.

Eibach has a set, and they look pretty nice. One big plus over the Bilsteins is you can adjust ride height without removing the entire strut by turning a big nut on the bottom with a spanner wrench. But they're pretty pricey...
