Default FX2 Leveling from 2 to 2.5 Inch. In Germany

Hey guys,



I am from Germany and I bought an fx2 2010 4.6l. now i have installed a leveling kit 2 inch front and rear. the rake from front to back is still too high for me. the rake is about 1.4 inch. now i would like to install a 2.5 inch leveling kit in the front. I have pictures of the uca and lower control arm, is the angle still ok or is that already too much with the 2 inch leveling kit? does someone have pictures of uca and lover control arms in stock hight 4x4 f150? Will there Andy Problems if i go 0.5 inch higher?

Thank your for help.

Do you WANT the 2 inch lift in the back? Because if you removed it and put it back to stock, truck would sit level.

The truck sits lower in the front, so raising the front and back by the same amount won’t accomplish any leveling.

I'm trying to see where OP lifted the rear.

Your solution is spot on, but it doesn't say he has lifted, or will add rear lift.

I already have a 2 inch block from ksp in rear. rake is still too much for me. my question is can i exchange the 2 inch kit in front for the 2.5 inch kit. or will the angles of uca and lca too much with the 2.5 Leveling?

the pictures at my first Post are with the 2 inch leveling kit

Remove the rear block or put in a 1" block in the rear. I have 2.5" front on my 17 and it still has rake of about 3/4" which I like.

My apology. I didn't know you had lifted the rear so my post was not useful.
I'm not able to tell for sure the condition of the upper ball joint. I'd assume 1/2" gained in lift would be fine.
Ride quality may diminish a little.

it is Not easy to get in Germany stuff for a f150. That ksp 2 Inch Block was the only thing that delivered to Germany.

its easier to get a 2.5 Front leveling in Germany. Thats why i post the pic of angles at my uca and lca. To find out if that 0.5 more inch in Front be Fine or not.

hope my english is okay.

no Problem

so you mean that extra 0.5 inch will be okay for the uca?

Did you put a leveling Kit on Your Truck?

Your English is just fine! I think you will be okay with the UCA angles with a 2.5" in the front.
