2.5" on my '20 XLT Powerstroke (37.5"F/40"R). With the 157" wheel base it's not as pronounced as on the shorter trucks. I think a lot has to do with trim level, options and GVWR spring package. I'm putting a set of skid plates on which will add a good bit of sprung weight in the front and that may make me want to level the truck a bit but no more than a 1.5" kit.
I'm sitting perfectly level with a fox 2.0 kit on the front end of my truck... but would like to get back 1' of rake for towing... any suggestions on rear blocks? Or will that mess up more angles?
Mine was 2 3/4, I put a 2.5 autospring spacer up front giving me 1/4 worth of rake. The truck is on a incline in this picture.
Any issues at all with the 2.5? How many miles have u put on since they were installed? I want to do the 2.5 but obviously don’t want any issues. My buddy says don’t go over 2. Shrug.

You want 1' of rake!?!?!?! I know what you mean, a 2', er, 2" block would get you close.
These trucks are all over the place, mine, a '17 and a '20, SCabs, 6.5' boxes, sat at 3" of rake.
Only advice to cover all trucks, take F/R measurements, and use what you need to get what you want. A little research as far as parts, and you'll find something to at least come close.
I would prefer a truck that sits level, but if I get a heavy load on it I would have a low rear end. When I had my truck camper on my last truck I got flashed by oncoming traffic on low beam. I can remember driving a borrowed truck loaded down and the front end wanted to wander all over the road. Was an older truck, so may have had other problems. I will be putting a Leer cap on my truck. The way it sits now, with the box-liner in, the front of the box has 2" of water in it after a good rain. Hopefully my cap will arrive before a lot of snow. Maybe the best answer would be to level it and add air lifts on the rear, but I probably only have my camper on for a week a year.
My 2019 screw, 6.'5ft 4x4 5.0, XLT with 302a had 2 7/8" of rake. I put on an icon stage 1 kit and the rake was about 3/4". I took detailed measurements, the after measurements obviously include the raptor take offs - equivalent to 35" tires.
