for 2WD, 1.5" lift on the front without adding the rear block will leave you almost exactly level. full tank of gas, stuff in the bed, you'll be *** low. I feel the ideal setup for people who want a levelish look but also use the bed should do 2" up front, 1" in rear to have some rake and allow for loads to not tank the bed too low

 

I'm really liking BoozeDaily's stance. However, I'm not sure how he got his 2wd so level using 2.5" in the front and 2.25" blocks in the rear. My truck, which is the same, measures 36 in the front and 38.5 in the back. Doing a 2.5" in the front would level it alone. But raising the rear more than it already is...how does his look so level?

 

Keep in mind when you start raising the front and back that the geometry changes. For example when I raised the front it was at one elevation, then when I raised the rear the front actually dropped a bit. Since the back went up it made the truck sit a bit differently so it adjusted.

Also I don't think Booze's looks level at all. his looks very similar to mine which uses 2" front and back. Booze's setup is 2.5/2.25... this is a lift not a level. Same as mine, but his has 1/4" difference in rake.

 

I see what you mean. I figured it was level, or close to level, due to the thread title. My bad. I'm guessing his rake would be around 2" or a little more.

 

Don't know if his is a 2wd or 4wd, but if it's 4wd and he's putting a 2.25" block in the rear, he's replacing the factory 1.25" block so it only nets a 1" lift. If he's 2wd, disregard.

 

He's a 2wd like me.

 

So mine is 4wd, but I went with the FOX 2.5. out of the box it is 2.0, you would have to adjust to take up to 2.5. Regardless of 2wd or 4wd I have seen the puck spacers also adjustable.... by the way without measuring hard to tell, but from picture i would say he has rake, rear is higher than front.

 

On a 2019 4wd should I get spacers or Bilseins? Trying to research pros and cons but keep coming up with more questions as I go

 

Depends on how you feel about your stock suspension. I was not happy with the factory ride quality or handling so I went with Bilstein front and rear. Some people like the soft/bouncy stock suspension. I'm not one of them. The Bilstein's firmed up the ride some and took away the rear bounce.

Spacers are less expensive, but do not change any factory suspension part so you still have the factory ride.

Edited to add...I was happy with the ride on my 2008 and my buddies 2013. I think Ford went limp on the aluminum bodied trucks.

 

Try a 2" leveling spacer on a 4X4 first, you can always add the Bilsteins later. I've never ridden in an late model F150 with Bilsteins so I can't make a comparison between the FX4 ride with or with out them. My ride is satisfactory for me for a 4X4..
