Without the rear spring kit, the 2.5" front kit might make it a little "front high".



do you have any before lift pictures. And do you think 305/55/20 will fit with just a 2.5 level? I have fuel 20x9 with 1 offset ordered and the tires. I don't want to rub if possible.

I was told no
I have Fuel 20x9 +20 offset STT Pro 295 55 20 and they rub plastic at full lock in reverse
I wanted +1 but ended up w +20 and still rub
Also have a RC level kit installed

I've searched and maybe I'm just overlooking the answer, but if I do a 2.5" front level and a 3" replacement block at the rear will I need to replace the rear shocks? I have a FX4 and I didn't know if the shocks that came would be fine for the replacement block or if I should upgrade them due to the extended height. I know the FX4 came with upgraded shocks from the factory (well the brochure said anyways) I'm just guessing they aren't capable of the extended travel required by lifting the back an additional 1.75".

Isn't the RC level kit only a 2" though? I am looking at the 2.5 halo lift or 2.5 AS.

I had the three inch blocks on the back, stock shocks were fine, I dropped down an inch, didn't like the rake. Mine has 305/55/20 with a 3" front lift no rubbing the offset as I rember is +18 as if ember.

That's good to know, I appreciate the feedback. I was leaning towards the Halo's as well. Did you go for a bigger rear block?

Default 2" Spacers

For example, if you measure ground to fender and say it's 37" if you add a 2" spacer does it than measure 39" or is there some settling. Has anyone measured before and after. Tnx

I went with:

F15095R F150 Halo Lifts Boss 2" Rear Shocks

F15095H14-SLV-Boss SW1 F150 Halo Lifts Boss 0-3" Adjustable Coilover Lift/Leveling Kit - Coilover Spanner Wrench

Mine is set just a hair under 2"...VERY HAPPY-->
