Bout 3 months a go I got a 98 f150 ext cab 4.6L 2wd. I love my truck, I just notice it sits lower than a stock Fx4 or 4x4. I like the fx4's ride height. Whats the difference between my 2wd and the fx4 package, other than 4wd?

4x4's have a slightly larger tire. But they have a 2" block in the back under the leafs. And front suspension is just designed a few more inches higher.
