Question sorry to ask.....but do all level kits work on FX4's???

sorry to ask, I searched but couldnty exactly find my answer. I noticed upon reading some leveling kit descriptions that they are NOT compatible with Fx4's. Any reason why? offset design???

I also noticed that readylift 66-2052 is described as follows on there site:

Due to popular demand from dealers and customers for a proper leveling kit for the FX4 version F150 truck, ReadyLIFT has recently engineered a 1.5" leveling kit for the 2004-2012 Ford F150 2WD/4WD trucks. The ReadyLIFT 66-2052 leveling kit provides 1.5" of front leveling lift while allowing for the installation of 33" tall tires. The FX4 F150 trucks come from the factory with a smaller amount of rake. The 66-2052 kit was designed to level the FX4 trucks, but will work on all 2004-2012 F150 trucks. The 66-2052 Ford F150 leveling features a CNC machined billet aluminum construction with pressed in 10.9 grade mounting studs for a precise fit. The machined aluminum construction provides long lasting durability.

I underlined what really threw me off. My truck sits way high in the back and was kind of surprised by that statement.

I now have 33" tires on +20 wheels and was thinking of a 2-2.5" level unless there is something I'm missing.

yes thx. Just some descriptions state that they were not for the Fx4 model and I wondered why. What is the exact difference in an Fx4 to the other models? Skid plates? Are the suspension components the same?

To be honest I'm not sure. My 08 and his 05 both had 3.73 gears ls rear end. Fx4 has more skid plates and other then that I'm not 100% sure.

I put a 2" level on my FX4 and it came out perfect. I really don't like the nose high look, and I really didn't like the horrible factory rake either. I wanted level or a small amount of rake. The best thing to do is park on a level surface and measure ground up to the top of fender wells in both front and back, and go from there on deciding which kit to buy.

Exactly how I feel. I will do just that.
