I assume I’m leveled?
https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...7b7db6a4b.jpeg So I feel like an idiot here, but I can’t figure this out. I have looked at a ton of pics of the side view of our trucks. Pics from ford, member photos, and even video clips trying to compare my truck to those. In all the pictures, I notice an obvious rake. When I look at my truck, I see a tiny bit of rake. If there is any, it is minimal, at least visually. I have not taken measurements due to my driveway being steep. And I only think to take measurements when I my son is napping, so I can’t drive somewhere. I have looked underneath at the shocks and struts, they look stock. The spring looks stock. I don’t notice any strut spacer on top. The only thing I can think is the previous owner either put a smaller block in the rear, or put a small 1-1.5” spacer on the front and it’s small enough to be covered/not obviously visible. I am going to attach a picture of my truck on level ground and tell me what y’all think. Disregard the cheesy ass grin on my face. It was taken as a funny picture for our families. There was a caption that went with it in the group message. Lol |
It looks leveled to me from that picture. Take a picture of the front strut/spring and it will be easy to tell if it has a spacer on it.

It does looked leveled in the first picture, or at least more level than stock. It also looks like the truck sits low for a leveled 4x4, but that may be and illusion of the 157" wheelbase.
Do you have any lift blocks between the rear axle and the leaf springs? Factory 4x4s came with a 1.25" block. Removing that block will sit the truck close to level. |
I don't see a spacer on the shock/spring and the angle on the ball joint is not at an aggressive angle at all, which of course is typical with a leveling kit.
I would say your front end is stock. Check that back spacer/block under the leaf spring pack and see if they put in a smaller one or took it out completely. |

Exactly where would the block be? I had the thought that they might have removed the block or possibly put a smaller one in to give it a leveled appearence. I dont believe it sits any lower than other 4x4s. When we are next to each other at red lights, we appear to be close to same height. I’ll try and snap another picture or two of the rear suspension and see what we get. Thanks everyone for your help. The reason I am asking is because I am about to order the Bilstein 5100 kit for front and rear. EDIT* Disregard the question about what I’m looking for. I figured out where the blocks are. I will attach a picture. On a side note, I’m attaching a second picture. What is that that is rubbing my rear shock? Whatever it is has created a flat spot on the exterior of the shock. |
Look at your cv angles on the front if their at an angle when the wheels are st8 your leveled there was a spacer sometimes it's hard to see.

Pretty sure I see the rear spacer under the leaf spring in your pics.
It is item #6 in this pic. https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.f15...b01d5de0cd.png |
It's hard to tell if you have front spacers from the pics since they bolt on top of the struts.
