I run the kit. The ride is improved in the front a little bit over stock, mostly due to the fact I put bilstein shocks on all 4 corners. These shocks are more controlled over stock, but I wouldn't say any softer.

The back end is the problem on these trucks as far as ride goes, your options are to either use their leaf pack kits or put some weight in the bed.

 

Are you running an adjustable track bar?

 

No sir. Just the carli leveling coils in the front and 5" blocks in the back, bilstein shocks.

I reread the OP. I don't run the bilstein kit, didn't know they made a level kit. I lied. My mistake.

The Carli kit is what I run and recommend to everyone.

 

Yeah the bilstein kit is just coils in the front

 

Not really...for the most part the axle stayed where it always has been. Bigger wheels and tires done at the same time as the level and still no real issues. Just aligned the front end and away I went. No problems for 50k now.

 

I have a 2015 F250 PSD 4x4. Up front I'm running the Bilstein 5100 2" kit that includes springs and shocks. In the rear the truck has 5" readylift blocks and Fox 2.0 shocks. I run 295/70R18 (34.5") Michelin defender tires on stock rims. The ride is better and the extra height is nice, with surprisingly little change to fuel economy. That's probably due to the lighter tire choice.

Some things to note:
1. If you're boosting up the rear, make sure you use a pair of shocks meant to handle the additional height.
2. Tire choice will play a much larger role in performance and ride quality than the brand of leveling kit. Those Toyos you have your eye on weigh a whopping 75lb each. That's nearly 50% heavier than stock. What does that mean? Faster wear on your suspension/drive components, very poor fuel economy, sluggish acceleration, and a rough ride.

3. M/T tires may look badass, but that comes at the expense of nearly every other performance metric there is. Unless you use your truck off-road on a continual basis, consider going for a more reasonable A/T tire if that's practical for your needs. When I say off road, I don't mean gravel parking lots and dirt road driveways. I mean real off roading. You'd be surprised how well quality A/T or even A/S tires can perform on a 4x4 truck.

Have fun with your build. Make sure you put up pictures when it's done!

 

thanks for the reply! i was only considering the m/t's bc i can get a new set for a really good deal. like 1/4 the price good deal. I'd really rather have the a/t's bc i hardly do any off roading. i wanna switch to this size tire for the load carrying capability. i tow a fifth wheel.

 

You can get the 4000lb per tire load capacity in pretty much all forms (M/T, A/T, A/S, etc) at that size. If your truck spends most of its time on the road you're probably better off spending the money on A/T tires now for performance and ride quality than paying for the M/T tires every time you go to the pump for the next 60,000 miles. At $2.40/gallon the Toyos will end up costing you an additional $2000 in fuel. If the extra weight of the M/T tires causes damage to your suspension, steering, etc you'll definitely be upside down on that as well.
