I bought a Lariat with leafs missing! What would you do?

This past weekend, I had me, my wife, my kid, my 90lb tonneau cover (Revolver X2), toolbox (50-75lbs), plus 400lbs of top soil (in bags) at the way back of the bed up against the tailgate. My truck didn't sag an inch. I agree with the others - there's been some tomfoolery with your truck, most likely a leveling kit.

I'll say with 100% certainty that there is either a leveling kit, the rear block has been removed, or there are drop shackles on it. No truck from the factory (Ford at least) sits level, regardless of trim. You also have the correct amount of leafs, so there's nothing "wrong" with the truck.

Yes there is a spacer on the top and the 2wd's IIRC don't have stock 1in blocks on the rear.
Also looks like you have some drywall looking screw with the zip tie in your fender liner, don't think thats oem either. Certainly don't have one on my truck, like someone had lights under there and it was to hold wiring.

During build and price of a 2015 or 16 when you add the sport package, it removed the tow packages, and vise versa. I remember when I was doing it prior to buying my 2014, and wondered, well, that sucks. I could have made a sweet deal on a 2015 Sport, but chose the 2014 instead due to the non towing ability of the sport.

It looks like there is a gap between the sway bar and bushing too. It might have been loosened for the spacer install and not properly torqued back down.
