Thanks for ge response. Yes I am pretty sure the rear block is factory sized. Everything I’m reading shows it should be around 1.25” and that’s what it looks like on the eyeball test.

I have seen some pics where you could see the spacer. But I am thinking that’s the 2.5”+ spacer. Again this is just a guess and could be completely off base. I just keep looking at pics of factory trucks and comparing to mine. I just don’t see the rake those trucks show on mine. I’m really starting to think I might have a 1.5” spacer mounted. How else could I confirm? Take measurements I’m assuming?

It seems everyone agrees it appears level. And I think the pic of the rear block confirms it is a factory 4x4 block. So the only thing it could be would be a small spacer. With it being a small spacer, that would explain why the CV angles aren’t extreme and obviously would explain the leveled look. Am I completely wrong about this?

I've got a 157" wheelbase 4x4 and before I lifted it I'm pretty sure it was almost level. From my measurements I had maybe 1" of rake at most which is a lot lower than what most other seem to have. Your truck looks almost exactly like mind did when I bought it, my guess is that's it's bone stock. Here's some pics of mine before I lifted it.

Thank you very much! That might finally be the answer. This has been driving me crazy for almost three months. I just couldn’t figure out why it looked level but all looked completely factory underneath. I’ll do some measurements today but I think I’m within an inch as well.

Do you have pics of yours lifted? I really want to do a 4” suspension lift, but don’t know how it would look. So I may just go with the Bilstein setup and do second from the top.

I sure do. Tons of them in my build thread but here's a couple. I highly recommend the lift if you've got the budget for it, it rides so well it might as well be stock. Not even my wife could tell a difference after I put it on.
