Default 05 fx4 leveling kit?

Alright guys I have an 05 fx4 screw that I'm going to be putting a HBS 2.5" leveling kit on the front and I was gonna get 2 or 2.25 rear blocks for it. I took a look underneath and I see there is some sort of spacer already in the front and what seems to be a 1.5" block in the rear. Is this stock or did someone put a kit on it already? I've been searching online and I cant seem to find any answers. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

This is what the HBS 2.5" kit looks like installed on the front.

That's kinda what the front of mine looks like already. I'll have to take a picture of it and post it here in the morning.

Definitely looks to me as though your assumptions are right in that the previous owner leveled and blocked it!

That's kinda what I'm thinking now too. I'm pretty sure the ball joints are shot in it so when I replace them in the spring I'm gonna drop the strut and see what size it is. I have a 2.5 so I can compare it to that one. If the old one's smaller it's gonna come out and put the bigger one in. I wanna throw raptor wheels on it then.

Yep, that's leveled. These trucks have a pretty noticeable rake when they aren't. This is before the level.



This is after.




And one with my tires.
