Where are you buying your ready lift from? Their website appears to be sold out of 2021 lifts.
That's what the website says... Lol
Call them directly. They have them in stock.

I have the JLT oil separator left over from my '13 ecoboost. Im thinking I can run it on my Powerboost, but am worried that since its a different engine it might not be required. I thought they fixed the caking caused by the ecoboost with dual injection?
The 3.5 (and 2.7 also) got dual injection for the past few years. I know 2018 was the first year for the 2.7 since that's what I have. The direct injection is still there but an additional injector was placed in the intake track to help distribute fuel (including detergents) to help keep the valves clean. I haven't seen any high mileage testing yet to see how much it has helped though. I have a 2007 Audi that I do the valve cleaning myself every 70K miles or so.

I avoided the 295s because the tire guy and myself thought I'd be cutting it too close with a rubbing issue.
I think ready lifts site says it will handle that size tire up to a +1 offset

Looks extremely badass! I'm not going to say that 2021 F-150's are chewing up the market for new tires, but it sure seems that way. Thought I found a deal from Walmart on Cooper AT3 XLT's in 295/60-20's the other day. They were $268 a pop. My truck isn't scheduled for build yet, so I waited. Yesterday the tires were $364 and today they are $390. Kicking myself, for sure!

That’s a pretty pronounced rake. You don’t really notice it until the before and after.

Would you mind expanding on what issues and which system? I'm looking into the Icon 0-2.63" Stage 1 suspension system and thought I read somewhere that the 2020 should fit the 2021. Is this not the case? I currently have 295/60R20 BFG KO2s on the stock suspension with no issues. Thanks!

EDIT: Oh, it was one of your posts where I read that Icon unofficially said it'd work, but hasn't yet officially released that info. Have you gone forward with installing? Thanks again.
The stage 1 kit should have no issues at all. i would not recommend going with the stage 2 or 3 system just yet. Yes it is installed, and yes I’m happy with it, but I had to get some serious fabricators to relocate the ride height sensors. And the stock tires rub the upper control arm so now I’ve gotte get wheels with a +1 offset. Icon should release a kit in a few months. At that time I’ll probably swap the upper control arms and sell the 2020 UCA. I promise I’ll post pics in the morning.

Thanks for the info. So the sensors and OEM wheel backspacing both interfere with the UCA? But no issues with the actual coilovers? Sucks you're having these issues; thanks for being the guinea pig. :p
No issues with coil overs or rear shocks. The new control arm wouldn’t mount properly with the ride height sensor. So we relocated the sensor. Probably 99% of people who install these already have aftermarket wheels...so it’s usually not an issue. I ordered Fuel D695 Blitz wheels with a +1 offset in Platinum finish. Hopefully that should do the trick. Black wouldn’t look right on this truck and I didn’t want too much bling.

Is the front a bit higher than the rear? Wondering, if I go this route, if I should I swap out the rear blocks for 3" (I know they're 1.25" stock). What height do you have the front set to? Could you post a direct side photo? And how has the ride quality changed from stock? Thanks again, and sorry for all the questions. I'm trying to decide between this and the BDS 4" lift.
the photo makes it appear a little higher in the front. But the front is 39.5” and the rear is 40.125. My icon set came preset with 1.75 inches of lift in the front. I may drop it just a hair. Maybe I’ll set it to 1.50 instead of 1.75. I do like to have the rear a little higher because I tow. The ride seems to be just a little bit stiffer. Not much. It still rides better than my wife’s Cadillac. BDS makes great stuff. If you are truly wanting a lift kit, I’d say the BDS is the way to go. I just wanted some better suspension components that just happened to raise the front a hair. I like the idea of replacing the 1.5 inch block with the 3 inch block. I may eventually do that. You could’t go wrong with either setup, they are bothe the best in their fields.Ask all the questions you want, I’m glad to help. Also, wait on the 2021 fitment on icon if you go that route.

Even for just got the Stage 1 coilovers & shocks without UCAs? If I got the Icon Stage 1 set, I'd get something like a 0 offset set of wheels, too. If I went the BDS 4" route, I'd probably keep the stock wheels and the tires I have now (KO2 295/60R20) for a little while, at least... probably...
I think you are fine to go with the icon shocks and coil overs right now. New uca can be added later. I’m going to try to go with the exact same tire as you.

Been looking for tires for my upcoming truck as well. Are these tires pretty quiet?

Wow. Unbelievable difference. A whole new truck. Original version is fit for a soccer mom driving to Home Depot. Post level and tires version is bad as$
Soccer mom driving to Home Depot?

How so and why.
