Default Leveling kit

Does anyone have a 2 inch leveling kit on the front and 3 inch block on the back? Show pics if you do cause I have a 2 inch in the front and 2 in the rear and feel like it's lower in the rear

If you don't mind can you send a pic of your setup on your truck cause I wanna see if your factory block looks the same as mine

Probably doesn't have the factory block anymore. I plan on getting a 3" block or AAL soon. I added 1" to my factory block and it sits with a little bit of rake but I think I want to get a little more rake out of it (and removed the stacked blocks that are there)

I have 2 inch leveling kit on the front and I think it's the factory block on the rear that's like 1 1/4 inches so what you think I should go with

yeah you might be a pinch low. Um if you add the 1" block you'll sit mostly level with just a pinch of rake. Its a good look, and wont sag when light hauling or towing. If you plan on towing or hauling heavy, go with the 3" replacement block or an AAL. If you're like me, you never want to be caught squatting no matter how much you haul lol great looking truck btw!


For reference, this is my truck with factory 1.25" block with 1" block stacked on top and about 2" up front. Just a pinch of rake

That's exactly how I want mine but did you have to get new longer u-bolts

Well this was all part of the RC 2.5" leveling kit that included spacers for the front, blocks shocks and ubolts for the rear. Stock shocks should be fine with the added height, Ubolts I'm not entirely sure tbh I just replaced cause they came with the kit. What you can do, is order a 2.25" block from like f150lifts.com and they come with new Ubolts anyway so you can roll with that. The 2.25" blocks should be the equivalent of what I did, just with a single block instead of stacking two smaller blocks.

Only thing I'm worried about is that I have a 2 inch kit on the front and you have a 2.5 in the front so mine would have more rake which I only want a little

I replaced the factory blocks with a 3" block. I did a lot of measuring before I did whet I did. My truck had 1.75" of rake factory, I wanted to keep some rake so by adding 2" up front and 1.75" outback.(factory block was 1.25) I ended up with between 1.25 & 1.5" of rake. Which put me right where I wanted to be. You definitely want to do some measuring to be sure, my buddy's 2013 fx4 had a good 3/4" more rake than I did stock, he did 2" upfront and replaced rear block with a 2.5 block and we now sit just about the same. So results will vary.
