Finally got my flip kit on thanks to Z7What who is a member here. Truck is currently sitting at 2" in the front and 5.5" in the rear. Going to adjust the belltech struuts to at least 3" truck is a 4x4 btw. Going to throw some wheels on her soon. Rides just as good if not better than stock.
Sweet Bro!!! Once you adjust that front ull be sittin Pretty
Looks like he left the blocks in to me unless your saying the 4x4's are higher stock?. Both my cousins did the 5.5 Belltech on rwd stx's & it sat slightly higher in the front on 2"Drop... Leveled out at the 3" mark. If that was 6.75" drop i must be unaware the 4x4's are slightly higher in the rear. Hard fo beleive after all the 2wd are ready have a **** load of wheel well gap. I also heard Tony say he saw a few 2wd's with a block or a extra leaf. Seems like theres no ryme or reason from one truck to the next of the same yr & models. Lol
09-14 4X4 F-150 have 1.25" blocks in the rear. The 2WD do not have a block at all. ExtremeFord4X4's truck is a 4X4. I removed the block to drop it 1.25". And then i did a flip kit which is 5.5".
The only difference in the rear of a 4x4 as opposed to a 2x4 is the 1-1/2" blocks and longer u-bolts/shocks. So yeah they are higher stock. The blocks were taken out a long time ago and at first we used 3" shackles. If the blocks were left in with the flip kit it would be sitting at 7" of drop. Because blocks with a flip kit will lower it instead of lift it. That would be nice but I really don't want to c-notch my truck especially with a boxed frame. Right now it's at 5.5" of drop in the rear and with a factory shackle it will be at 6".

So 1.25+5.5= 6.75"

Ok I got ya's.. So that 6.75 drop is about the same as mine with a 5.5 because the 4x4 is higher stock. Rojjer that ... Looks Great!!

Correct I guess I could have been more detailed.
4X4s sit 1.25" higher in the rear from the factory due to them having a 1.25" block. When installing the flip kit the block is removed so you get a total of 6.75" of drop from stock height on a 4X4. On a 2WD with the same kit you get 5.5" of drop because you already started out 1.25" lower than the 4X4 because 2WDs don't come with blocks.
Tell us more about your exhaust setup- that looks Sweet!
Sorry for the late respond. I never get on her and my buddy showed me that he saw my truck and then i saw your message. Im running on stock exhaust manifold (for now), x pipe, 2 magna flow bullets with 2.5 inch piping
Thanks for the feedback from those of you that responded. I went with a Nitto 420 275/45r22 tire and love it! Just waiting on center caps now since I was sent the wrong ones.
