Default Another Leveling Thread

I'm sure this dead horse has been beaten beyond recognition, but the search feature is a bit lacking.
I drive a 2016 XLT 4x4 (5.0). My question is, how much rake is there on these trucks... Without measuring, it looks like a 3.5"+ drop back-to-front.
I'm looking to go close to dead-level. I hardly ever pull or haul anything of significant weight, so I'm not worried about going a little nose-up under load. I'm going to start by knocking out the blocks under the rear end. I picked up a pair of 2" pucks a while back, but never got around to installing them. Would the 1.25" drop plus the 2" pucks get me to level? Or would that be a little too much?

Just go outside and measure. That’s the best answer and I’m not sure why you didn’t first do that.

Came to gleen some knowledge from F150 guys... All I'm finding is a bunch of vapid gatekeeping dicks. You sure you guys don't drive Silverados?

You came here asking a question that has been answered all across the internet (not just this forum) 1000's of times. Might as well ask what size tires you can run and what aftermarket CAI will get you 20+ hp lol. We help people all the time but if you're not even willing to walk outside to measure the stock rake of your truck you're going to get smartass answers.
