For the math impaired, that's a rake of 3/16" (or 0.0841 degrees)... see the link in my signature for details.

I have an FX4 with a 2" level and stock rear blocks. I have a Decked system installed in the bed which adds just over 200 lbs, full-time. My front fender with factory flares is 38-3/4" from level ground, and my rear is 39-1/16". Any difference in rake with or without the storage system in the bed was imperceptible.

Just got a killer deal on a new 2015 2WD Lariat loaded with the 502a package and want to level her out. The rake is killing me!
Question is: On the 2WD what size block should I add with a 2.5 Auto Spring front spacer to get it level. Since there's no block in the back of the 2WD's adding a 2.5 in the front will make it really nose high. Correct? I'd like to get it closer to the 4WD ride height but as level as possible.
I'll be adding some 18" wheels that are a +18 so they'll be out just a bit.

before the rear block
this is before the rear block with 4 tires in the back (approx 200lb)
I don't have a straight on from the side picture right now of it after but here is one at a little bit of an angle. I also changed the tires - the ones in the first set were 295-60-20...the new ones are 295-55-20
with 1.5" rear block
