Default 2009 F-150 Suspension Swap

Hey guys, I'm new to this forum so I'm sorry if I can find my question somewhere in the tons of posts people already posted.

I have a 2009 F-150 Lariat 2wd with a 6in Zone lift, 5in blocks in the back. Keep in mind I just bought the truck 2,000 miles ago and its never been in any accidents or anything. The lift is about 4,000 miles old, along with pretty much brand new 20in Fuel Octane wheels and 35in Nitto Trail Grapplers. For some reason I cannot keep my truck aligned and not pulling to the left a little. I've had 2 alignments in 2 weeks and each time they put it on the machine, it's different than when I left the previous times. i'm getting kind of tired of fooling with it, and am wondering if I can buy a stock Fx4 suspension and just swap it out, then sell my lift and just run a leveling kit. I know my tires stand the chance of rubbing, and I'm not sure what offset my wheels are, but they stick out about 2in right now outside of my wheel wells. I found a full like-new stock setup on Ebay for a 2013 Eco-boost Fx4 so I was wondering if that is compatible with my truck.

Any thoughts, comments, and suggestions are appreciated, minus 2wd comments. I got a steal on the truck so I couldn't turn it down!

I don't think your 2wd is compatible with the fx4 suspension.

Why not just level your 2wd?

stage 3 swapped out em 4x4 shocks on their 2wd. I am sure they can give you the details on that if you asked. but there would be no way of shoving 35's on a 2wd with just a level and those rims. If you did, prepare to do some serious trimming
