Here's my 2015 502a Lariat 2WD. I just have the 2.5" AS leveling spacers in the front and the rear stock (no block 2WD) and I have a nice 1/2" of take which I like.

My question...I'd like to get to the stock 4WD height in the back (I think it is a 1.5" block) but still only have the 1/2" of rake. What would I have to get done in the front to do this? Some crazy lift rather than just spacers?

Here's a pic...

 

It looks like the front is slightly higher in the pic. May be the angle of the pic, and the driveway not level giving that illusion. The 4WD rear block is 1.25". You can't get much higher than the 2.5" level you have on the front. So a lift may be your best option. Although idk what is available for a 2WD.

 

Its the angle of the pic making it look like that. It's measured 1/2" higher in the back. Maybe I can do something with longer shocks and new longer upper control arms? Not sure if this would work and not have any angle issues with axels etc.

So does the stock 4WD front have longer shocks?

 

Yeah that's what I thought about the pic. I'm sure the 4WD shocks may be longer due to the block in the rear, would need a little more travel.

Lifting with adjustable shocks in the front would definitely be better than a level. Longer UCA would be a benefit as well, as these will wear much faster at the increased angle from the level.

Very soon, I have plans to remove the front 1.5" AS level and replace with Bilstein adjustable shocks.

 

Looks awesome. How are you measuring? I have a AS 2” and when I measure, I have about .5” rake at the most.

 

The stock 4x4 block is 1.25”. I have added one on the rear of mine and on the front I did the bilstein 5100’s with a .400” spacer on top of them. Now it sits at 38.75 in front and 40.5” out back.
