After much research I decided to go with the 2015-2020 Fox 2.0 “Tuned by Ford Performance” leveling kit for my 2021 Powerboost. The reason I chose the previous gen kit is because there have been many complaints by Powerboost owners that the 21+ Fox kit does not provide the advertised 2” of lift.
I received the kit a week ago and scheduled an appointment for a local Ford dealer to install. I dropped off my truck this morning and within a few hours got a call from the dealer saying this kit is not compatible with my truck. I explained the issues with the 21+ kit and that this kit has been successfully installed on many 21+ trucks and that it would work fine. Despite my urging the tech was not comfortable installing a kit that wasn’t specifically listed as compatible by Ford. He first recommended the new Bilstein Ford Performance kit but then realized Ford says that one isn’t even compatible with the Powerboost. Amazingly, that dealer has not done any Powerboost levels at all, and assumed they would have to remove all the hybrid electronics to access the top of the coil.
Unfortunately I now have to find a shop that’s willing to do the install. Hopefully I can find a shop that is knowledgeable about the PB. The Powerboost leveling dilemma has become a pia. If worse comes to worse I may just do the install myself but would rather not.
