Default Leveling 2017 XLT Fx4 Options

Posted earlier but dind't get to many replies. Looking for options to do with leveling my truck. My goal is 0 rack in the truck. Any advice on how to go about this? I've looked into spacers, coilovers (Fox 2.0) or the Bilsteins 5100s. Any recommendations. Also would love to see pictures of anyone who has done this before with before and after pictures of their trucks or just afters with what they did. Also what size do I need to get to obtain a minimum of 0 rake. I've heard 2" and I've head 2.5" just not completely sure. Looking for input.

I went with the 2in spacer. To me 2in is perfect, but it's not 100% level. I think 2.5 is right at level, however some say it can appear slightly nose high.

That's awesome. Thank you! How do you like the spacer? And also how much was it to Line X

I needed up with 5100s at 2" and added a slightly taller block to rear because I needed a slight rake. If I had not added to the rear the 2" up front would have ended up level or darn close for sure.

Spacer is great. Ride is basically identical to the stock ride. Line-x was $550 for the platinum spec ($450 for regular which does not offer fade protection).

First pic is stock, second is no level and 275/65/20s and last pic is 35/12.50/20s that were installed yesterday. I have Bilstein 5100s at 2.1 in the front and 5100s in the rear. Can’t find a pic with the level and 275s, but it looks a lot better with the level and 35s.

No rubbing with the 35s? Look awesome! Can you post some more shots?
