2010 F150 2" AS front lift w/ 3" rear blocks
Hey all. I see a lot of posts on lift configs and people wanting to see pics, etc. For those wondering how 2" front with a 3" block in the rear would look here is my 2010 with that config.
The front is a 2" AS spacer and the rear is a 3" block (stock blocks were 1 1/4" so overall lift over stock is + 1 3/4"). I actually ordered 2.5" blocks because I thought the 3" would be too high for my liking. They sent me 3" blocks by mistake and then offered me a deal I couldn't refuse so I kept them and decided to give it a try. I don't hate it, but it does have more of the factory looking rake to it. Some may not like that but I think it turned out alright so leaving it be.
The tires are BFG 275/70-18, they are about an inch taller than the stock tires. Anyway, just thought the pics might help somebody else in deciding their preferred lift configuration.

I think k it looks great, same set up I'm running except with Bilsteins for the level. I actually like the slight rake cause I haul stuff in my bed often.

Looks good. I just put on the same tires with no lift/level and they make the rake more noticeable ... Probably going to level with a set of Bilstein 5100s, just to take the rake out of it (need about 1" in the front )

Thanks, I actually started out with just the 2" AutoSpring front leveling kit. It pretty much leveled it, at first I liked the look but after a little time all I kept noticing is that the gap between the top of the tire and the wheel well was more in the front than in the rear. Even though it wasn't really the case, this made it appear to sit lower in the rear than the front and I just didn't care for it. Plus, every time I put my 4 wheeler in the back or hauled something in my trailer, it squatted it well past level. Basically it just always seemed to look low in the rear to me and I just didn't end up liking the look. It all boils down to personal preference but I am glad that I raised the rear up some, even though I would still have preferred only the 2.5" blocks in the rear, but I still like it and am glad I raised it.

[QUOTE=lps5053;4557240]I want to do the 2" front and 3" rear block so thank you very much for posting this!
No problem, glad it was helpful. I know I did a lot of pic searching and they sure helped me a lot, & if you are like me - the more pics to look over, the better!

[QUOTE=guysnydr;4557253]I agree 100%. And its so tough because you can never find exactly what you want. This is spot on for what I want on my '14.

I went with the AS 2.5 front and 3 inch rear blocks and couldn't be happier with how it turned out, just need bigger tires now haha it's still has a slight bit a rake, as stated the more pics the better
