By the way i really appreciate your help. I cant post a pic right now as im at work, I thought about pulling a fire truck out so I could take a pic in the bay but I will wake everyone up. However I will definetly post one in the morning.
No problem man, and the guy said it was a 2" level. Most guys run a 2.5" like myself. If your worried about the front being higher, your best bet is to get an adjustable leveling kit. Here is the Rancho quicklift, and i think Roughcountry makes one as well. Also if you decide to go with a traditional leveling kit thats not adjustable and the front sits higher, you can go with rear blocks or AALs in the rear to level it out.

Ive got the same truck as you ....07 Screw with the 6.5 bed. Im going with the Bilstien leveling shocks because i only need 2 inches to level it. Take a measureing tape and measure from center of your wheel to the bottom of your fender for both front and rear. That should tell you how much you need. If your worried about the rear sagging when towing or hauling put an airbag on there to help, thats what im doing. Good luck!

I have a 07 SCab with a 8' box. It's long in that combo, though I have seen a F350 that looked to be a SCrew with a 8' box, that was even bigger.

Screws with the 6.5 have a longer wheel base making them sit a little different. I only needed a 1.5 leveling kit on mine. I believe FX4's are sprung a little stiffer which will make them sit different.

Ive searched and Searched the forums with no luck or im stupid.. I dunno, Im thinking so since I bought the long bed.

Anyways I would really like some advice on how to make my truck look a little more aggressive. I thought about a Leveling kit but I dont think its to far out of level now due to the long bed. Has anyone leveled a SCREW with the Long bed and what did you do. Pictures would be awesome.

I Hope im not asking too much, Im getting desperate. !!!
FYI, The 6.5 bed is still considered a short bed, its just not a short as the 5.5

X2......With the SCREW there is no true long bed....Just short (6.5) and shorter (5.5). But if i'm not mistaken the Screw's with the 6.5 bed are built on the same platform as the standard and supercabs with the 8 foot bed.

Nope, different wheelbases: http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/sp...-150&trimid=-1

Looks like it goes RCAB/6.5ft<SCAB/5.5ft<SCREW/5.5ft<RCAB/8FT=SCAB/6.5FT<SCREW/6.5FT<SCAB/8FT

To the OP, you also have the option of level the front + a block or AAL in the rear. You could do a 2.5 front and 1.5 rear and it will only take an inch out of the rake, or a 1.5 front and 1.5 rear for a lift with no removal of rake.

The longer a truck is the more level it will be due to the angles. My Single cabs bed sat higher than my Scabs with 2" Rear blocks.
