Had the truck for a couple months but really loving it now with the new shoes.
So far it’s just the sticker and badge delete and the wheel and tire package. I went with 20” wheels by Raceline and 275/65 Cooper Discoverer AT XLT.
Friday I’m putting a spacer in the front and Roadmaster AS (if I can... posted in another thread that there’s a strange bracket on the driver side above the leaf pack with an arm attached to the frame).
The tires rub the front crash bars at full turn in reverse.
I’m also replacing the chrome caps with black tomorrow and the gatorback mud flaps whenever those arrive.

Nice. I've been researching the bracket and leveling arm issue for possible airbags - seems that the system you are looking at and both major airbag companies state incompatibilities with '21 F-150's that have the leveling arm and device outside the rear frame. I have an email into Firestone asking when/if they'll have a solution - seems it should be a fairly simple fix - but meanwhile I don't want to screw up my headlight level and whatever else that system does. Of course, I don't even have a truck yet (ordered KR PowerBoost 6.5 bed on 2/22, currently 5/3 build date), but have a stack of stuff waiting for its arrival. I'm trading in an F-350 and have a fairly heavy towing requirement, and have used airbags on prior F-150's with good success, but that backet is an issue for now.

Not really noticeable IMO. I had Falkens on my 2019 and thought those weren’t bad either. The only reason I changed is the weight of Coopers over the Falkens is 10lb! The XLT is aggressive enough for my driving.

What offset are those wheels?

ok thanks - I have this size tire on stock wheels wit no rub. I am contemplating going with a wheel that has +12 offset, so it seems I may run into some clearance issues and need to raise the front a bit.
Can you post a picture down the side to show what amount of poke you have now?

Nice truck and great tires. Had the same tires on the f150 I traded in. Tires not only look good but ride even better!
Saying that , I'm having Nitto G2's installed, in the same size as yours, next week, along with a 1.5 inch level kit on the front.
Will post pics soon.

Some updated photos after a 2” spacer lift in the front and Roadmaster AS HD in the rear on the light setting. I also put the gatorback mudflaps on the rear but doesn’t look like there’s going to be enough room in the front - no rubbing issues right now but there would be with flaps. Sadly, the black mirror caps are still in the garage. Maybe tomorrow’s project.
The last photo shows the clearance for the RAS. The shop and Roadmaster were confident there would be no issues and they haven’t disappointed. Ride quality is 10x better and corners like a beast. If beasts cornered well.

Did it stiffen up the ride at all? I used Firestone bags in my last 2 F-150's and it made it ride like absolute trash unloaded. Couldn't beat the improvements with the trailer in tow though.

I was just taking to a buddy on the fence about it and can’t say enough positive things about the ride quality. Feels more secure, tighter and sportier around corners, no annoying hop... I thought it would feel a little stiffer but the stiffness is more of a secure and tight feeling than rigidity. I got the HD and set on light load - I have not towed the camper with it yet.
Hope that helps.

Which kit are you using to get 1.5" lift?
