Learned today after washing my truck that I have the 9.75" 12 bolt rear end housing my 3.55 gears with e-locker. Not sure what that really even means, lol.
Now for more interesting news. I want my truck to look more like a truck, sooooooo, I just bought a Rough Country 2" level kit and my son is bringing me his OEM blocks and u-bolts from his 13. I will get those cleaned up and painted before install. Hope I don't need them, but I have to take out my Ford Performance lowering shackles anyway to install the OEM shackles. Now to decide on tires.....99% set on 275/60/20 Falken Wildpeak AT3.

It already looks great, now it will be just a little higher. Still gonna look sweet. You gotta do a before and after when you have it done.

So you're gonna use the blocks, and OEM shackles?

Man....and you were my inspiration to pull my 4x4 blocks and get more level that way vs. raising the front.

Yes, it's very hard to to tell. If it helps any, I've got 3/4" of rake left, basically a visual only for you. LOL, maybe some day when I'm bored, and feel like it, I'll stick the stock shackles back on, and take out the block. Or, just stick the shackles back on, and lift the front a little more to level or thereabouts. Chances are, I won't do either.
