Some measurments from 2wd owners please

I was wondering if some of the subercab 2wd owners could give me a couple measurments please. I would like to know how how your trucks sit stock front and rear from the ground to wheel well lip/moulding. I am curious what the height differance is between the 2wd and 4wd (mainly in the front). Thanks a bunch.

Thanks I appreciate it. My FX4 is sitting at 37" but that is from ground to lip. I was thinking that the 2wd springs/coils on 2wd might be 1" shorter or something. I would like to get my front to that height and drop my rear end using the top hole of my GF shackle since the 2" blocks are off now. Thanks for the measurements and I like the stance of your ride. I want mine close to that but maybe 1" more gap. Peace.

Thanks,my front is 37" passenger side and 37.25 driver side. I would like to get it down another inch at least for now. I am at 37.50 in the rear with my blocks removed. I have 65/18 stock tires so that works out to about the same as her 20s tires in diameter.

My neighbor just bought a 06 STX and I was thinking about hitting him up to see if he wanted to do a trade his front coils,springs, front and rear shocks for my springs,shocks,2" lift blocks. Get him some more height with his truck and mine down a little more. I figured it would lower my front another 1+" and with OEM parts until I get to my suspension phase. I already removed my rear blocks,u bolts and have shackles on and can drop it to the upper hole to get it down a bit more if I go lower in the front. Thats where there 2wd shocks would probably be better to use.
Would you think there would be any issues with the swap? Mainly the front, I think not and if so I/we would need to get the front realigned correct? I figure the only cost to us would be a little labor.
