Default bunch of questions.

couple questions:
got a couple codes p0401 and p1451 havent had time to work on getting them fixed, i plan on doing that this saturday or sunday. question is, would either of those cause the truck to have a slight vibration when taking off from a dead stop and right as i get to a dead stop. or would it have anything to do with the tach not working right.

question is about the suspension. how can i tell if my truck was lifted by the previous owner or if its stock. it looks like it has blocks, but i cant tell anything about the front. mine does sit higher than some that i have parked next to.

ok the 4x4 offroad sticker on the side of the f150s. mine doesnt have it, but it is 4x4 is that a special package that i might not have?

Suspension: Your's probly just has the torsion bars cranked up, giving you a couple of inches of lift up front. You might have a body lift, very easy to tell if so. Look at the rear wheel well and see if there is a gap between the frame and the bed. If there is a 3 or so inche gap you have a body lift.

i know i dont have a body lift, but it kinda looks like there are blocks between the leaf springs and axle, but i dont know if that is a factory thing or not.

take some measurements from the fender to the middle of the axle front and rear and I will measure mine to give you a idea.

The blocks are regular, it just depends on what size they are.

the back has some sort of riserblock, and the front probally just has the torsion bars cranked.

how much of the bolt that adjusts the torsion bar is sticking out?
