- 2023 F150 XL Supercrew
- Thread starter
- #1
Howdy,
I have a 2023 XL Supercrew with the 6.5' bed on order. I got the HDPP as I want to put a sled deck on and carry two snowmobiles as I am recently getting back into that hobby. The F150 was the only truck on the market with this kind of payload in a half-ton sized truck. I didn't want a bigger truck as my daily driver so this seemed like a great option.
My only issue is my driveway is incredibly steep and I am concerned with the approach/Departure angle so I would like to do a modest lift/level of 2-3" with some bigger tires to give myself a little more clearance so I don't have to worry about dragging my front/rear bumper. There seems to be an overwhelming amount of kits on the market and I wanted to ask around if anyone had any advice. I'm looking for function over looks.
Here's the options I'm looking at:

Here's the options I'm looking at:
- Spacer Kit - Seems cheap and effective
- Spacer kit with new UCA's - This only seems necessary if you go with 3" of lift?
- Bilstein 5100's - If I understand this kit correctly I can just install these shocks and I'll get 2" lift front and 1" rear with stock springs? Are the 5100's softer than the HDPP shocks?
