sorry all i have is the picture i posted on instagram, i lost all my stuff when i upgraded to io6

it lifts the rear, so unloaded with a level it will be close to the stock rake, and helps it from being nose high with just a front level alone when loaded. as far as ride with the aal i can't say as i haven't installed them yet. also i heard the aal increases load capacity by 900-1000lbs

So I have been looking at the Readylift products. And I'm stuck..they said they have a FX4 leveling kit 1.5" made only for the FX4 version? I have a '12 F150 FX4 CC long bed.. Do i have to go with the FX4 version of what Ready lift has? Or can I still go with the 2'' level that I was looking for? Here is the link and read the 2nd paragraph..Let me know what you think..

Hmmm, with a 2" level, you can fit 35s, and with their 1.5", they are saying 33s.
I didn't know they came with less rake, and I know I have seen several people running 35s & 2" levels on FX4 trucks.

I went with 2" inch front and 3" rear blocks to keep some rake on my '12 FX4.

Hey Guys,
I have 18" wheels /tires on my 09 f150 fx4 and have ordered 20" Rockstar / Nitto trail Grapplers. I would rather not install a levelling kit up front....will this be a problem? Anyone install 20's without a levelling kit? I don't do any serious off-roading, just the occasional trail.

wheel size does not make a difference, what size tire you put on does. go on tire rack or your tire brand sight and put in size. look at the specs, height and width, look at nitto's sight and see what tire matches height. probably can go at least 1-1.5 taller with no problems. if you putting on a leveling kit can probably go higher, need more info than 20's and nittos. need off set, width, back spacing, check the sticky for more info.
