Just ordered a set of 5100s to add a bit of height to the front of my truck, however last night I measured my wheel wells, and the front is the normal 36 1/4 but the back of the truck is 40 inches... I know there is a block under the leaf pack but I thought that was stock... Does anyone know what the stock ride height is back there? Or the size of the stock block?

Thanks

The OEM rear blocks are 1-3/16" or 30mm in height.

Isn't the normal ride height 38 inches back there? Does that mean I have 3 inch lift blocks? I'll get under and measure them for sure...

to the OP ... I don't know what year your truck is, but I have a 2014 FX4, and before I did my level, I measured everything. I don't recall the actual dimensions, but I DO know that the rear of my truck was only about 1.75" higher than the front ... and that my truck came w/ the approx. 1.25" tall rear blocks.

The kit I used is the AS 1.5" kit up front, and replaced the rear blocks w/ 2" AS blocks.

I THINK my current ride height w/ a spacer leveling kit and rear blocks is about 40.0" in the back, and 39.5" in the front ... though I'd have to double-check to see.

Looks like the same as my STX. Must have all f150 trims be the same.

Ride height is also dependent upon which box you have.

CORRECTION: I am at 40.5" in front, 41" in back. 34" dia. tires help get there...

Ok so I have the stock block in the back and I'm at 40 inches... the front is just over 36 inches.... I cant believe the truck came from the factory with 4 inches of rake, I wonder if maybe I have 2wd springs on the front?

Wiggum

I cant say this for sure, but 4" of rake seems like something is definitely NOT right ... that's an absurd amount of rake.

For anyone interested, I found two broken coil springs up front, this would be why my front was so low. Ordered some replacements.
