Dont know what the difference is. why some say theirs sits level at a 2.5" spacer. For my truck, 2.5 would have been way too much, without a bigger rear block. I had 1 7/8" rake before the lift. With 275/65/20 tho, 2.5" front spacer + 2" or 3" rear block should look good. Stock block is 1.25".
My wife drives the truck during the week. I wil try to swing by her work and get a pic.

Just measured... 8-11/16" gap from tire to fender on the front and 8-15/16 gap in the back. So the back is exactly 1/4" higher than the front (thats with the RC 2.5"). Here's a daytime pic, embarrased about her cleanliness but its been rain.

I don't know either but most of the FX4s around here have a 2.5-3" difference in wheel well space between the front and back. Maybe some of you have different trims? And for the others a half inch tolerance is understandable. Idk, all I know is I'm level at 2 1/2.

curious about differences in leveling on these trucks with same kits getting different results. would have anything to do with what plant the truck was built? or build date? seems a lot of differences based on reviews I have been reading

I would speculate that it has to do with a lot of different things. Tolerances allowed in the build, different runs of components (truck A has struts from run B, and truck B gets struts from run A) things like that. Also, any user installed options- winch, etc. It's weird, I know, but it seems they all have a mind of their own.
