I looked all over the internet for images and details on leveled Gen14s, so this is my aid for the next one. F150 Lariat 4WD in 2021 with the 3.5 The Eibach 2.0 stage 2 kit was included. removed the back 1-inch block. The eibach kit was installed at the predetermined height, which is roughly.5" below the maximum height. The measurements taken before were: Front tire to fender: 6.25" ground to fender 37.5"; rear tire to fender: 8.75" Measuring only the tire to the fender after leveling, ground was forgotten. The measurements were: rear 7" and front 7.5". It had a back rake in it as it was sitting. I’ll drive it for a few weeks to observe how it settles in.
When I take the vehicle in for an alignment, I’ll hoist it back up and level the front and rear tires to make sure the kit is completely adjusted in the truck.
Wheel and tire configuration: Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75r17 Method 318 gloss black 17 x 8.5" with no offset Nothing feels really locked in. These tires and wheels weigh about the same as the factory 20" package, however I didn’t weigh everything. They haven’t had a significant impact on my mileage. While I still need to put a few tanks through it to obtain figures, the lie-o-meter hasn’t altered at all thus far.
For a moment, I was perplexed. You installed a level kit plus new tires, which is why the tire-to-fender measurement reduced. H***, it looks fantastic, excellent stuff.
I would also blackout the wheel thoroughly if I were using the blackout wheels. Spray paint or aftermarket paint. Since mine are faded, I’ll spray them.
Although it is somewhat taller overall, it appears more rounded out since the tires have more space in the wheel wells. Not to everyone’s taste, but precisely what I wanted.
I recently received a level kit, and my 285/70/17 on methods. I may need to swap to the 285/75/17, but otherwise they seem fantastic. I hope my gap doesn’t appear too noticeable, and I may do a report in a few weeks once I’ve completed everything.
