So i have sifted through all the threads but am not finding one thing. Everyone says the 4x4 model is higher in the front than the 4x2. If this is the case, how did they achieve this? Are the control arms different? The reason I ask is I want to lift my truck 2 inches in the front but I don't like the change in geometry from the spacers. The angle of the control arms is too extreme for the driving I do every day. If the 4x4 model is higher, are there parts I can swap to maintain proper geometry? I looked online for uca relocation brackets but no one seems to make any, nor could I find 2wd lift knuckles. Any suggestions?

 

The 4x4's have factory lift blocks 1-1.25" spacer on the front and a 2 Block in the rear.

 

Get the bilsteins 5100 for the front and a block or add a leave in the rear. That is what I'm going to do soon...

 

Bilstiens worth it. Running an 8 ply tire with them so it hits stiff and a little hard, but those shocks are the real deal!

 

Can you order the factory spaces from Ford for the front?
