Looking at doing a level and shocks on f250 to fit 295 65r20. Plenty of options. Leaning towards readylift

I had great luck with Bilstein 5100

What year is your truck? I have those exact size tires on my 2016 F250 4x4. They fit without any rubbing on stock wheels without any lift or level. I have also had good luck with my Bilstein 5100's.

295/65R20 on a 2024 with no lift on 5100 stock height

Don't level. 295 won't rub on stock height.

5100 or 4600 for stock height truck?

5100 makes it feel less bouncy, takes away the delta 88 feeling from stock.

4600 is a little cushier than 5100 but still tons better than stock.

I did a 1.5" level. I feel anymore and your front end will be higher than the rear….specially when towing. Picture is on a slight downslope rear to front. On a level surface truck is very level.

This is what I did on my'24 tree fiddy. I think this is way to go. Doesn't take anything out of spec. Doesnt interfere with onboard scales. It's really the best. That looks great!

For anyone curious, it should yield 1/4-1/2" of rake so you don't do the Carolina squat if you actually use your rig.

Anyone know if the 5100 shocks will work for 1.5" level in front? Bilstein won't commit to an answer.

They have an application for 0 to 2 inches of lift

Part Number: 24-274951
Product Type: Suspension Shock Absorber
Series: B8 5100
Position: Front
Notes:- Fits non-Tremor Package Trucks with 2-2.5" Front Lift- Fits Tremor Package Trucks with 0-2" Front Lift
MSRP: $164.00
Weight (lbs): 5.25\

This is the only one I found and since I don't have a tremor, just a regular KR F350 with 1.5 level, Bilstein peaced out on committing to it working, but I THINK it will. I just wasn't sure so I keep rocking the factory shocks. But I think the tremor uses the F350 springs in the front anyway, so I don't know why this is labeled as such.
