The Leveling Kit Thread
Consider spending $100 on some rear wheel liners. Makes a big difference.
I know this has been discussed ad nauseam, but is there any consensus to the reduction in rake that a 2 inch RC level gives? I have a 2018 totally stock 5.0 SCREW xlt FX4. It currently has 3 inches of rake. I think I’d like to have about an inch of rake left (I hate the nose high look). I guess my question is the 2 inch rough country level gonna get me too close to level or will I still have some rake. Or should I just get a 1.5 and not be concerned. Sorry if this seems like an obvious answer but every set up seems to yield totally different outcomes

Top is before bottom is after, I still have some rake, I didn't want to be nose high or dead level as it can appear nose high at times too. Also didnt want the cali-lean if I put anything in the bed lol. I was at about 3 inches of rake before, 2 inch level was perfect for me.
Looks great. I went with the 2.25 block on mine. I still need to get rear wheel liners on mine as well. Even though my rear is like 1 1/8 inch higher than the front, it plays with your eyes some with the white wheel wells. I probably wouldve went 2.5 or 2 7/8 tapered rear block but was already pushing fitting in my garage as it is and pushing the factory shock limits as well.
wesshipman....love the set up! How do you like the ride with the FP kit? I've been considering buying it but worried the ride will be too firm. Also, what size/brand tires? I have the same wheels on my Lariat and was going to go the same route.
Thanks!!!!
