I just got a 04 fx4 crew cab a few months ago and feel like it sits low. I'm trying to figure out if I should do a front level with rear blocks or if I need all new shock, in which case I would get the rancho quick lift with 9000xl rear shocks. I think the factory shocks are shot. I was wondering if anyone with a stock fx4 could get me some ground clearance measurements so I can figure out how much mine is sagging. I have small tires but if you can tell me your tire size if you get the measurements I can figure it out. I think the best way to measure it would be from the ground to the bottom of the body right at the wheel well, but if anyone thinks there's a more accurate spot, that's fine. Thanks for any help and here's a pic of my truck how it sits right now.

I think the previous owner leveled by removin the block in the rear or something the front apears stock but the back is low

Your truck does sit low. I'm guessing the large majority of it is gonna be your trires because they look pretty small. The height between the wheel and the fenders looks even on the front and back so it may have been altered by the previous owner. I don't know the measurements off the top of my head but I'll get them when I can later tonight. I am not familiar with lowering these trucks but it definately looks like yours has been modified to me. Then again it could be the picture is just decieving

The rear still has the factory blocks and all the leaf springs. I agree with you guys. The front looks pretty normal to me but the back looks way low. The rear only sits about 1-1.5" higher than the front

Damn maybe they over loaded the crap outa the truck and ruined the rear leafs? Lol

Yeah I thought about that. I think it was used to tow a lot cause the rear sits low and I had to replace the transmission shortly after I bought it

Upon further inspection my rear blocks are missing...easy fix and I'll be ordering a leveling kit along with some stock blocks. Thanks for the help guys.

If i was you id order a bigger rear block so that its not sqautty in the rear when loaded

I'm ordering a 2" block. So it'll be a little higher than stock in the back. With a 3" front spacer, it'll still be about 1/2" higher in the back. I don't tow much very often, so I want it to sit close to level.
