2" or 2.5" - Front end lift to level?

[Herobrine]

They are Bridgestone Dueler Ascent A/Ts. I’ve had them on my bigger trucks in an LT and really liked them. They are an “On-Road” All Terrain so kinda quiet.

very nice i'll look into them

My STX was only 2” lower in the front. I did a 1.5” level and it looks perfect to me. Technically there’s 1/2” rake but I can’t see it. I would measure the difference now at the center of the wheels and go with 1/2” lower than exact level unless you want a lean to the back look.

Are you running stock wheels and tires?

If it’s your me you’re asking, for now yes.

That looks good to me. I like to see some clearance on a 4x4.
I may go to a 265 70 17 on stck wheels but probably as far as I would go so I have the clearance look.

I used photo shop to see what Mine will look like with stock wheels and a leveling kit.

I even photo shopped off the FX4 decal just to see how it would look.

This is what it looks like in real life

As I don't see anyone else mentioning that they did a 2" lift, I have a 2024 FX4 2.3L with a 2" front lift. I l am happy with the decision, I didn't want a perfectly level height front and rear, I wanted to maintain some rake so when I tow or load the bed its not squatting in the rear too much. I also was worried about limiting down travel of the suspension when off roading so that was another factor. With some time messing around on the alignment rack I was able to get the front wheels to a 0 degree camber but if I had gone with a 2.5" front level I would still have a bit of positive camber left over without doing aftermarket control arms.

This looks so proper. What size tires are you running? Love the Bronco takeoffs.

Thanks! They are not Bronco takeoffs though! They are the ranger raptor rims and tires from a 2025 model year, its the option rim with the bead-lock rims/rash guards. 285/70R17 KO3's. They fit great with no spacers, clearance to the front knuckle is extremely tight (less than 1/2") but they don't rub surprisingly. I removed my front sway bar but I think if you had the front sway bar still on the upper sway bar end link stud would contact the wheels so keep that in mind.

Damn that looks good, stock tires size on the Methods?

I have a 2 1/2” level kit on mine and it sits perfectly level. No issues at all.

Did you use the 1.5 spacers?? i have a set from Truxxx Automotive, haven't installed them yet
btw how's the ride with them?

Yes I used the ones from truxx also. I did have to trim the factory strut studs like 1/4” bc they stuck up past the spacer. It rides pretty much the same.

Eibach Pro-Truck 2.0 at out of the box settings, roughly 2" I believe.

Did you replace your sway bar links and UCA with the Eibach 2.0 setup?
