The Leveling Kit Thread
Edit: I think the REAR of my truck sits higher than a stock Raptor (with my current 33's). I would be willing to bet on it.
I think my rear sits higher than yours. I think that's where the difference is coming in. Maybe the ligher XL/STX truck + factory OEM tow package makes the rear higher?

Yeah. I think the REAR on my truck sits a lot higher than some others I've seen. Maybe because it's an XL/STX and generally weighs less in the cab area. Also only has a 23gallon tank, so less weight there, too. My rake was 3" as well. It is down to about 3/4" so sounds like we came up about the same amount. This is why I was on the fence about possibly going with the Rough Country 3" kit, but the CV angles were a little disturbing for me.

I think my truck is like this too. Sits WAY high in the *** end (I'm 6'4" and the top of the tailgate comes up to my chest). Not sure why though.
Looks good, how much rake do you have?
I used a 1 1/2" motofab spacer, and have my 5100's set to .71. So, I may be a little higher than you, I figure close to 2 1/4" level is what I wound up with, and still have an inch of rake.
Seems that results are greatly varied. What is your payload? Mine is 1904#.

That's quite a bit of difference. Left rear on mine sits a 1/4" higher than right with a full tank, 36 gallon. Did you get a frontend alignment done? Front same side to side?
I have not had an alignment done yet, the front sides vary by 1/2" (lower on the driver's side). Rear is 3/8" difference. But this was also with me trying to measure with a tape real quick so I chances are I was off a bit.
