You can utilize Forscan and do it yourself. There are videos of VDM calibration. It's quite easy if done correctly. If you are not comfortable, a dealer should be able to do it.

The manual isn't going to say anything about calibration because Ford doesn't want the truck leveled. You need to calibrate VDM. Maybe HCM, if the Raptor has that. Then you'll need to adjust headlights.

I've leveled my 2025 lariat and got 265/70R18 tires. If changing tire size, unless a dealer will change tire circumference, forscan or Procal to the rescue. I started with changing wheel circumference first. Vehicle speed plays a part in more than just the speedometer. The 24 and 25 lariat...

Agreed. I still had ~1.5x thread OD of thread engagement. If not, I'd get 5mm longer fasteners.

Here is the procedure. (Model year 2025) 😉

Yes, it came with a gasket, the same type of flat gasket the Ford Performance cover uses. The OEM gasket is reusable if not messed up. I purchased and used a new OEM just in case.

My 2025 Ford workshop manual only mentions port injection and direct injection for the 2.3L and 2.7L. The 3.0L only mentions direct injection. Note the image below. This section is part of 303-04C which references the direct injection fuel rail. There is no port injection fuel rail.

I went ahead and uninstalled and reinstalled per the workshop manual orientation. Also, Eibach's zinc coating is not great, so i took the opportunity to scuff up the zinc some and sprayed 2K clear coat on the shocks.

I would presume it matters since the lower perch is angled. And the angle of the shock, since the control arm connection is outboard of the shock top mount? I have a feeling Ford put it in the workshop manual for a reason.

Does anyone have pictures of their stock front spring orientation on XL, XLT, or Lariat? Preferably an FX4.

I happen to get a look at the workshop manual after doing a level on my truck. I mounted my Eibach shocks with the lower perch in the same orientation as it was stock. Looking at the shop manual it looks like Ford had them mounted backwards. My LH side was facing the rear and my RH side was...

Also, I hope nobody has to deal with a horrible dealer like my local one. I was having recalls done Monday and mentioned that the truck is leveled with slightly larger tires. Asked if they could verify if anything required calibration. They basically claim they cannot do anything with IPMA (360...

For the Raptor, yes. There is a calibration done within the Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM), which performs calibration on all four wheels. The Lariat does not have a VDM and only has height sensors connected at the RF and RR suspension. I haven't come across information if any calibration is...

I presume the stock 7.5" wheel width is helping with that potential interference on the knuckle as well. I didn't go as wide as you, but I did Method wheels that are 18x8.5 with +40 offset. My tires are 265/70R18. The inner sidewall is almost the exact position as stock, yet the outside is...

Stock offset is +55. I'm surprised there is no rubbing between the tire and knuckle.
