I'm looking to purchase an AS 2.5" leveling kit for my 2012 FX4 Screw. I'm not sure until I install it if I will need to raise the rear any to keep it level with the front. If my rear is slightly lower I'm not sure I would want to go with 3" blocks which would give 1.5" lift. Anybody know of small lifts for the rear like .5"-.75". I have seen 1" lift blocks.

 

Go with a 2" HBS if you think the 2.5 is too much. I did the HBS 1.5" kit which it looks like they've now discontinued and my front end is almost exactly .5" lower then rear on level ground......but thats a 2wd.

 

i have a 3" level spacer and it sits perfectly level, i didn't have to add any rear lift. a 2.5" should either put you level or with a slight bit of rake. mine is a pro comp and not a hbs or as, but a spacer is a spacer haha.

 

From what I have read 06' and previous 2.5" will sit level and 06' and later 2" will sit level. But I know that the same kit on different trucks could vary.

 

oh alright makes sense, i know the 06-08 didn't have the crazy big factory rake that the 04-05's did haha

 

You could always go with 5100s...4 different height options.

 

Sounds right in my experience. Soooo why not go with the 2" kit and not worry about the rear?

 

I keep seeing 5100s, but haven't read anything about them. I see them in a lot of different post. Must be some good shocks. How is the ride?

 

I want to run 35's and I think the 2.5" will help clear better and not looked as stuffed. I don't like "Cali Lean" so a very slight rake would be ok in the rear but not too much.

 

Look at pics in my garage I have the rough country 2.5" level with a 1" block setting on top of the factory block. The back is about 3/4" higher than the front and I'm running 315/70/17 tires.
