Default Stock rake on a '13 FX4

So before people crucify me for asking a stupid question, I did try to search for this but several different answers, many just guesses.

Can anybody provide exact measurements or specifications (maybe from Ford) for the rake in a stock FX4 SCrew EB?

I have a 2013 FX4 and did the 5100 Bils front and rear. It's level at the 2" front setting.

My understanding is the stock rake can vary from truck to truck, but it is approximately 2.5 inches.

Mine was 37.5" front, 39.5" rear. That is to fender line. Third groove from bottom on bilstein 5100s was perfect.

I've got a 2013 there's a slight difference from truck to truck I don't have the FX4 as trim levels don't change much. The only real suspension changes are between 4x4 and 4x2

Not sure why people keep bringing up Bilsteins in the thread but since we are I went with Bilsteins at the max setting there is zero rake on the truck now.

Just eyeballing it here, but I've noticed my 2013 FX4 all stock only has a subtle rake compared to earlier years. It seems to be very pronounced in the earlier years.

This is all stock sitting on level ground. I agree it appears there's more space in the rear wheel well, but the overall angle of the rig seems perfectly horizontal.

Not sure how this applies, am I missing something?
