Did you use spacers or coils? Is the 1.75 your new measurements?

That is what I figured. If you want to go a different route, I would look at the coils. If you want an exact level I would look at adjustable , then it can be messed with you get the exact look you want. If you don't want to spend that much, try the Rancho (2.75") or the RC 2". I have the RC 2" coil level, it is perfect. I always look at it for different angles. I am maybe .25" difference front to back, stance is perfect, ride is amazing! below are the 2 best picture I have it. First one is at the dealer right after I got it back. The second is in my driveway it looks a shade nose high, but that is because my driveway is slightly angled, when it is level it is dead on (and I have measured it)

Maybe its just the angle of the pic or something but that doesn't look level to me. Looks a bit squatty.

i did mention that... it is the angle of the pic and my driveway. I have measured it multiple times and even used a level on it... front is about .25” lower than the back

Which is almost perfect for a level. That way you can still throw your golf bag in the bed without aiming up towards the sky.

You do know that Ready Lift does not recommend installing their 2.25" kit on FX4 models, right?

They state this clear as day on their website. Non FX4 F150's, no problem. They only approve their 1.5" spacers for FX4's...

That said, and I know it's not what you want to hear, but you installed a product the manufacturer stated not to install in the first place.

So they must have put the 1.5 kit in my truck then cause I measured the block and it’s only 1.5” so if I go with a different brand would I get a higher level?

I don't know what is so different with the FX4, but I don't recall seeing any differentiation at other manufacturers sites.
I will say, MotoFab, which I've used for 1.5" level, comes right out and tells you, that spacer will measure out at less than 1.5". In fact, I talked with them about the actual thickness of a 1/2" spacer, it's 3/8".
Why you got less than you wanted, I've no answer. Maybe try MotoFab?
