The 2wd struts are about an inch or a little more shorter than the 4x4 strut. This is measuring from the base of the spring perch to the bottom of the strut.
I have a 2018 FX4 and have some stock 2016 2wd struts from my old truck. I measured them because I want to drop the front of my FX4 a little. It will work in reverse for you if you want to raise the front of your 2wd.

This is interesting. I’m still debating lowering the back 1.5”. But if I want to raise the front 1.5”. Would the front struts from a 4x4 do that or would it be much taller? Sort of like that idea a lot more than adding a spacer.

So every forum on the F150 talks about the Bilstein 5100's. What's the deal with them? Why are they the best one? Everybody says they are but I don't know why. Help a buddy out here before I spend my hard earned money without knowing why.
