The original tires on my f150 are about done, and I'm contemplating the idea of leveling the suspension and up sizing the tires to 275/70 R18 (33"). A local shop gave me a quote for 2" rough country billet spacers and I'm curious what the outcome will look like? Despite scouring the forum I can't seem to find a lot of photos of just the 2" spacers. It would seem that most people also replace the rear blocks to achieve a mild lift throughout. Should I have any concern that the front will sit slightly high with just the spacers, will it be true level, or will there be some residual rake? Any photos? My truck is a 13 model year 4x4 ext. cab.
Thanks. Admittedly, I was kind of hoping the front wouldn't be high but I suppose I can increase the blocks in the back if it doesn't look right to me. I went ahead and had the parts ordered so we'll see how it turns out. I'll post some pictures once it's complete.
I just finished my truck, i used the Motofab kit which is a 1" spacer which results in 1.5" of front end lift. with 275/70/18 tires and i think the level is perfect the front is not higher than the back and I kept the stock rear blocks.
This thread is torture. I did some more research last night and was able to uncover a little bit more information regarding the 2" kit and found a couple of additional sources. I'll place them here for anyone else who happens to come upon this thread.
The motofab kit looks good. It would also appear that a bit of the factory rake is maintained. It seems odd that this would be the case if 2" is over leveled? That must be a tall half inch. My concern regarding the front end being high has less to do with looks and more to do with the fact that I tow a mid-sized fishing boat from time to time during the summer. While it's not a dramatic tongue weight I would prefer not to be staring at the stars. I can always install rear blocks or bags if that turns out to be the case but hate to throw endless amounts of money at the problem. As of right now the RC stuff is on order and the service is scheduled. I'll probably just continue down that path unless I have a last minute change of heart.
Rough County 2" composite kit up front on mine and nothing else. Perfect height for me. Maybe 1/4" of rake left and even loaded up with my daughter's college furniture did not go nose up.
