I wish I could tell you but neither one of us have 'stock' lifts.

I have a 1-1/2" Autospring up front and a custom 4-1/2" block in the rear. -TXF150- has a 2" or 2-1/2" spacer up front and a 5" block in the rear.

What lift do you have?

I don't understand why my rear is sitting so much lower. . I guess were taking measurements at different places. Most lift kits, come stock with a 4" block in the rear so they should be the same.

Mine is 26 1/4 in the rear. Measured from where the plastic meets the chrome.

Read it carefully 26 1/4 up front from botom of the chrome, not bottom of lower valance...

Well, that still means his rear is sitting 3" taller than mine.

Wow, I'm not lifted, but the rear of my truck is almost as high as yours and my front is way lower. Your truck must sit really high in the front. My truck is:

front - 19" to bottom edge of black plactic lower valance (5.5" lower than yours)
rear - 24" to the seam between the plastic and metal bumper (1.5" lower than yours)

well how big is the FX4 stock block? I thought it was arounf 2". you also have the add-a-leaf which makes things a little higher around 3-4". The Fabtech lift has a 4" block and a 6" lift in the front. So you should be sitting around where I am in the rear.

Exactly, stock 4wd blocks are all 2" and most all lifts only come with a 4" block. The add-a-leaf made up the big difference.
