So, I bought my first truck a few months ago and I wanted to get it close to level. I didn't know much about ball joint angles with the front end components, and I had a 3.5" strut spacer installed to get the truck closer to level as the rear had a 2" block already installed when I bought it. Long story short, I learned, and now am looking to remove the rear block and install a much smaller strut spacer to level the truck out and not put major stress on the front end components.

What size spacer will I need?(front is at 40.5", rear is just under 41.5" bottom of fender to ground) Math tells me it should be 2.5 (Front 40.5"-3.5" spacer=37",Rear 41.5"-2" block=39.5", so 39.5" rear - 37" front = 2.5" spacer for level), but that seems like a little to much for a stock level. Will the rear come down more than 2" when I take the 2" block out?? I think a lot of guys get level with a 2" spacer up front and stock configuration in the back?

Side note, the truck came with Bilstein rear shocks(33-187501) that are meant for a lift. Does this effect lift at all?Does it matter that I plan on setting the truck down 2" onto them?(Also, why does the website say for 09-13 F150's, is it not meant for the 14 which is what I have?)

All this makes me wonder what a 2014 F150 FX4 SuperCrew 6.5 bed 3.5 EB stock rake is?

Sorry for the length of the post! Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated, thanks guys.

Thanks for the reply, I put a 2" spacer in the front and actually ended up .25" high after taking the 2" rear block out. Must be the angles work kinda funny and it actually takes 2.25" rake out with a 2" spacer I don't know. Maybe I was only at 1.75" stock rake.
