HBS 2" w/ 305/55R20 Nitto Trail Grapplers

 

Awesome. I'm looking to get a white KR and do the exact same thing to it.

 

2 inch Autospring in front stock rear. Rides great even with 10 ply tires.

 

Rancho Quick Lift is what I used on the front of mine. Just had to use my old springs.

 

Rancho Quick Lift is what I used on the front of mine. It gave me a 2" lift up front. Just had to use my old springs.

 

Man thats awesome. Friend of mine just scooped up a '12 w/an ecoboost. Alot of little differences in the 2 that make me real jealous of it.....just not the motor

 

sorry if this is a noob question. I googled around to understand what is a leveling kit. But why is one needed in the first place... why would Ford ship the truck with the front a little lower than the back?

Would leveling change the drag coefficient in a material way so as to reduce or increase MPG?

thx.

 

Reco, the 4x4 comes with stock approx a 1.5 lifting block that raises the rear of the truck for towing and other needs... so the truck leans to the front... Some people add the front leveling kit to equal up the height of the wheel wells... me personally I'm going for both front and rear it's a cheap alternative to a lift kit... I got out of an f250 and into my f150 and it just sits to low all the way around for me... So there's differant reasons on why to install one but overall it's all personal prefferance and altering the truck to look how you want it...

 

thank you User for the explanation.

 

OK lets talk actual measurements on rear blocks.....
The 09+ 4x4's come with 1.25" rear blocks (I've measured it)
The 04-08 4x4 trucks have a 1.5" rear block
The Raptors all come with a 2.5" rear block

 

Autospring 2" leveled it right out to the 1/4 inch

 

You wouldn't happen to have the part numbers for these animals would you?

 

 

That doesn't look level to me.....not saying it isn't, just doesn't look it. Looks to me it sits nose high a tad, quite possibly due to the larger front fender opening. Which has been documented in the past, I think a 1.5" AS is the perfect kit for a true level "look".

If your gonna go with the 2" I think it needs a bigger block in the back, but NOT a 3".....more like a 2" which is 3/4" taller than stock.
2.5" Front Level and I suggest the 3" block or the RAPTOR 2 5/8" block.
Just my $.02

Thats what I thought after I put it on, measured it on a level concrete floor and there is 1/4in difference at the top of the fender wells between the front and rear...
