The F350 Stance Guide: How to Level Your Truck & Fit 37s
Share
The 2023–2025 Ford F350 is a massive truck with a massive capability... and a massive amount of factory rake. Ford designs the rear end to sit 3+ inches higher than the front so that when you drop 3,000 lbs of pin weight in the bed, the truck sits level.
But if you aren't towing heavy 24/7, that "nose-down" look is aggressive—and not in a good way. It limits your tire options and makes the truck look smaller than it actually is.
Installing a 2.5-Inch Leveling Kit is the standard fix. It flattens the stance and opens up the fender wells for 35-inch or even 37-inch tires. However, the F350 suspension geometry is sensitive. If you just shove a spacer puck in there without correcting the Caster Angle or Track Bar alignment, you risk vague steering or the dreaded "Death Wobble."
In this guide, we break down the right way to level an F350, comparing budget-friendly Spacer Kits against ride-improving Coil Spring Replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions (F350 Leveling)
Will my F350 squat when towing if I level it?
If you tow a heavy 5th Wheel or Gooseneck, Yes. By removing the factory rake, you lose the visual "buffer" for sagging. When you hook up a heavy trailer, the rear will drop, making the nose point up (Carolina Squat).
- Solution: If you tow heavy, we recommend pairing your leveling kit with Air Bags to support the rear load, or choosing a smaller (1.5") leveling kit.
Does a leveling kit cause "Death Wobble"?
A high-quality kit installed correctly prevents it. Death wobble is often caused by worn components or insufficient caster angle. Cheap kits that just add height without correcting the geometry (Caster Shims/Track Bar) can make the steering sensitive. Always choose a kit that addresses alignment specs.
Can I run 37s on a leveling kit?
Yes, but it's tight. On a 2.5" level, you can run 37s if you stick to factory offset wheels (+40mm) or slightly aggressive wheels (+18mm). If you run wide "deep dish" wheels (-12mm or -24mm), you will rub the bumper and fenders significantly.
Fix the rake. Fit the rubber.
