I don't think they are that much different, though i'm disappointed in the height of my 4x4 F-150 compared to the height my Jeep had. The lower control arms are much lower to the ground than my Jeep was, and considering how much higher up i'm sitting you'd think it would be better. The overpaid flunky
Ford design mugs dropping the ball.... Boy i'm venting about them
all over the place today...

The 4x4’s have a two-inch block between the rear axle and the leaf springs and are equipped with larger tires than the 4x2’s

Other then that, I believe the suspensions are the same...as in their is no difference that I have been able to come up with between a 2wd and 4wd front suspension.

actually in the front I believe there is a difference. I was told the spindle is longer and so is the coil. I would say about two inches total difference in the front.
