Default Kinda new to this... leveling question

I'm wanting to raise the front of my 2013 FX4 SC. Tried to get it on level ground and measured. Looks like about 36" front and 39" rear. Really? A 3" inch difference? Does that sound right?
Thinking the AS 2.5 should do the trick?

Oh and I have searched and searched before asking. Trying to decide which kit to go with

I think you are correct, most guys say the AS 2 or 2.5 makes them perfectly level. With the FX4 you already have a 1.5 rear block. Im sure the other guys will comment and show pics.

I let a guy try to put one of my 2006 F150 several years ago and regret it. He had lifted several vehicles in his day but didn't understand the ford strut. He ended up ruining my strut assembly and ball joint and never installed the leveling kit.

Lesson Learned for ME: Be happy with the truck as it was designed.

Don't want to discourage your plans, but make sure you really want to do it and get a professional to do it.

If you tow alot, you may want the extra height in the back.

Good luck!

I've used an AS kit and was happy with it. They seem to be the best bang for the buck as far as just a level. It won't do anything for the ride quality. If you want a better ride plus lift look into Bilstein, Rancho or Fox shocks.
