What is everyones opinion on leveling out your half ton. I had the spacers in my last truck and it didn't seem too bad but was wondering if spending a bit more and getting the 2" lift struts is a better way to go?
I do a lot of off pavement travel on rough roads Don't need a big lift or anything, just wanting to run the usual 33" on the half ton (2018 f150)

The struts are definitely the better way to go if you don't mind spending more.

I got the rancho level struts in my last truck. Really liked them. Road better then stock.

In my head
We just did friends Tundra with the Bilstein 5100 leveling struts. Easy peazy and a real positive difference in ride.

put a set of the quick lift rancho RS 9000 in the front of my 2015 f150, I'm very happy with them. I have rode in both puck leveled and strut replacement trucks and there is a noticeable difference with the full replacement for sure.

Agree with the above. The blisteins are popular on the F150 forum I'm on and most people say it rides better leveled with them than stock. My last truck had the spacer type in it and definitively made it choppier.

Thanks fellas, thinking i'll do the struts. Can you get these at a place like lordco or westcan?

Easy enough install for a couple drunk rednecks?

You can order them in from any place that gets aftermarket stuff. Easy to put in with basic tools. My came with springs. If they didn’t have springs that would be the hardest part.
