Can anyone post pics of their 2wd with a1" or 1.5" level?

Hoping for reg cabs in the 2004-2008 gen, but anything 2wd is fine. Id like to see what a 1" level and a 1.5" level looks like if you have them. Also, how much actual lift did you get from your 1" or 1.5" level? I currently have 4x4 coilovers that lifted me about 2-2.5" and I want to go a little lower, just not sure which Id need. I want to have 2.5-3" of rake. I have sets of 2", 2.5" and 3" rear blocks to choose from. Thanks in advance!

Mine's a screw but its a 2wd, I put the Rancho Quicklifts on. They advertise 2" but most people are usually getting 1.75", this could help give you the rake you want. Here's my thread: https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...s-finally.html

Thanks for posting. Also, your upper ball joint angles look totally normal even with two inches of lift. Mine definitely hang down a lot more.

Not sure if you are looking for only lifted levels but here is my previous 08 Reg cab with 2” drop in the back.

Yea I've had it for two years in April and I put them on in May '13 and as far as I know the truck is still on original ball joints. It has been groaning on and off though lately so it may be time for some new Moog uppers but I've had no problem with them. I got them mainly because it would level and replace stock stocks at the same time. Two birds with one stone...or two mods with one part?

I did the Moog uppers too when I put in the taller coilovers. Super easy! They're great.

Hey, by chance, do you know what uoute mesurmments up front were before the leveling shocks? Like, from your center cap to wheel arm lip, is that how you mesured? I didn't not mesure before and just want to know what your stock hight was. I'll go mesure tomorrow and report what I'm currently at. Thanks!

I never measured when I had it stock and since the shocks I've gotten raptor wheels and 33s so I wouldn't be able to make an accurate measurement now

Good inspiration! My Quicklifts, 9000 series rears and control arms arrived today. I hope to get them on my 08 rwd screw this weekend.

Dorman. Price is right and online reviews were positive. It does not make sense for me to replace struts and not spend another $36 per side to also replace critical wear items while you have it apart.

You guys should really consider the Moog greasable upper control arms vs the sealed unit type. Grease them with one squirt every oil change and they should last forever. Price is very similar, too.

They're called Moog Problem solver. Everyone around here loves them, had them on my truck for a couple years, Grease every oil change, no problems.
