What to do? (Level, lift, lower)
Is it possible lower the rear end of a 2x4 F150 1 inch?
I have a '13 standard cab and I ordered a 2 inch leveling kit, but I'm thinking that will be too much lift for the weak-sauce stock tires that I will be keeping. However, lowering the rear 2 inches would definitely be too low...I think. If you have pics of this I'd love to see it.
I figured if I lift the front an inch with the Daystar kit and drop the back 1 inch, it'll be a nice meet-in-the-middle.
What say you?

The rake of an F150 is 2 inches. So, lifting the front 2 inches is level, OR lowering the back 2 inches is level. But, as stated, the first would be too high, and the second would be too low. I am keeping the stock tires.
I'm thinking if I lift the front 1 inch, and lower the rear 1 inch, that will still be level, just not too high or low.
I don't want to lift it; I don't want to new rubbers, I just want my truck to sit nicely.

lift the front and call it good. or you might be able to find a 1" smaller block than what is in the rear right now. i doubt you can split the difference and lift the front 1", doubt they make a kit for that.

Could get a set of Bilstein 5100s and set them for one inch?

block idea aint guna work brotha. youll be sitting on the axle.
just read the 2010 rear block on an FX4 is 1 1/4"...should be the same size block even though yours is 2wd, if anytihng yours maybe 1/4" shorter, year shouldnt matter much.
