I got the 1 inch in the back so I would still have that rake. My 2011 with just the leveling kit looked a little nose high.

Yes..usually a wheel with 5.75"- 5.5" backspacing with no wider than a 9" width wheel on 33"-34" tires will work. I believe with 4.75" bs on 8.5" width wheel will work also that are found on 17" wheels on same size tire above.

Or look at it with offset between 0 and +18.

Some install blocks with the front level suspension because they still want a slight rake, but the front higher, they can fit bigger tires with correct backspacing (rub issues) and bigger stance.
My 2WD only had about 1-3/4" rake from the factory. It looked like much more than that... Adding 2-1/2" spacers up front made it "front high" by about an inch. Installing AS add-a-leafs brought the rear up about 1-1/2", so this got me back to having about 1/2" of rake- which I think looks just about perfect

I took some pictures before and after to show the angle difference with a 2'' AS spacer.

Default 2017 F-150 Do I need rear blocks added to my leveling kit?

What's up guys, I have a 2017 F-150 and I plan on adding a leveling kit. I currently haven't bought the kit yet. The rear fender off the ground measures 41" and the front fender measures 37". This is from stock. Do I need a 2" kit or 2.5" kit to level the truck out? I don't want the front higher, I basically want the truck level. Also do I need to add rear blocks, if so what size do you guys think?

It is best to measure from the middle of the wheel to the lip of the panel above the wheel. This will tell you the total difference between front and rear.

ok thanks. Is it possible to achieve a good level without adding rear blocks?
