How is the ride of this kit? How much rake do you have. I have a 2013 super crew 4x4. I am currently sitting at 2.25in rake stock. I am not crazy about any rake, but I tow lawn equipment a couple days a week and don't want to sag. I'm debating between this kit or the 2.5 autospring with 3" rear blocks. Just a little worried the 3in block may give me too much rake.

The ride is definitely a bit stiffer than stock but it's not bad. Mine still has a slight rake but it's nothing significant. I have a 2011 FX4 crew cab. 3 inches in the back would be a lot... that would be more than a factory rake when you're not towing

I like this kit because it sits close to level but that slight rake is still there to retain some amount of aerodynamics

Yeah, the autospring isn't a stacked block. It replaces the factory block. They say you get 1.5in of lift in the rear. So, with the 2.5 up front, I would assume that would leave an inch or so of rake.

Oh gotcha. Probably give you half an inch to an inch of rake

Ordered this kit for my 2014 XLT today.



Can't wait to install. Picked up some 18x9 Centerline Wilderness Scout wheels too. Just need to get some tires to fill them out.

The front install is tuff on this kit...but it is doable in the driveway. A buddy/helper is definitely a must. Should be finished tomorrow. Got a late start tonight.

Final stance. I am trying to decide between this kit and the autospring 2.5 with 3" replacement rear blocks. Thanks.
