They do not make a 2.5 level for the 2009-2012, my dad went with a 2" just because the dealership said that there is no 2.5 for a 4x4 that it is only for a 2wd because of the angle of the control arm, too much angle puts stress on the ball joints causing them to wear out faster, and ford won't warrant anything that may be caused by the aftermarket part. So even if you can make your own, they will not warrant spindles, ball joints, control arms, or cv shafts. Not saying it can't be done but I personally wouldn't do it. This is my dads with the 2" readylift and 295/70/18 trail grapplers. It sits perfectly level

Autospring makes 2.5 for the fronts.

Your OEM rear block is 1 1/4", if you go with a 1" you're most likely going to be nose high. I went with 2" front and a 2" block and that got it about level. The 2" front only sat nose high for me. This is on a 2012 FX4 Super Crew. If you call Autospring they'll tell you every truck is slightly different, they install them for a local to them dealer.
