It could by a small amount as you have now altered the front ride height (factory rake), hence affecting the factory areodynamics. But definitely when adding bigger tires let alone if you put larger wheels (larger rolling mass) on it.

That is a perfect look. Now that they brought out the offset flush with the fenders again for 2021 the stock wheel with upsized tire on those Sport wheels looks amazing.

Here's a 2021 Lariat Sport on ReadyLIFT 2.25" Leveling Kit and 34" Tires.


Just picked up my 2021 F150.

Ordered the readylift leveling kit. For 2021 it's a 2" but I've seen you have a 2.25" kit. Is this a type or did you use last year's sizing?

Do you plan on doing the level, or someone else?

do you need to get a new alignment with a leveling kit?

Anytime you do a level/lift yes. Likely your toein will be off, and if you do like some, loosen or remove UCA/LCA, you'll likely throw the alignment even further out.

All spacer kits are called "Level Kits." Its up to you to measure the difference between the front and rear and figure out which one to buy. I've measured a few trucks and I do know a 2.25" will not bring any of the 2021 4x4's up to level. The Sport package measured at 3.5" and the FX4 was a 4" difference.

I’m not going to worry to much about numbers. If it looks good that’s how I decide

I keep hearing/reading the “sweet spot” on these leveling kits is under 3”. I personally like the look of between 2”-2.5” when my 2021 XLT sport gets here I plan on leveling the front with a 2.5 strut spacer kit and want to put 295/70/R18 (34.3”x11.6”) on the factory sport 64r wheel but wondering if The tires will clear without rubbing and if it will affect the lane changing assist

Was told by an offroad shop that the 295/60R20 Toyo AT 3s would rub the upper control arm without spacers due to the factor wheel offset. Did this truck have spacers or rub? Thanks!

Nice! Do you think 35’s will work with this lift too?
How did it effect fuel mileage going with 34? Great looking truck I ordered mine should be here end of may

Yes, a level will negatively affect mpg. It will affect aerodynamics, with a larger frontal area into the wind. So will adding larger tires.
