Name that Suspension Setup
Alright my fellow F150 enthusiasts
, I need your help.
Please forgive my ignorance as I came from the Lightning world and now in the FX4 world and am trying to learn as much as possible so that I dont sound too naive. Here's the problem:
I purchased my FX4 used, at a dealership, and I know it has a level kit, I just dont know which one. I dont know if it has anything in the back, as I dont know how many leafs are stock and if there is an AAL. So, to help me, I took pictures to show and ask for your guys' help. Here are the measurements:
FRONT: ground to bottom of wheel well:38.5 in
Back: ground to bottom of wheel well: 39.75 in
I have about 2 gallons of gas left in the truck (I know I know, bad idea)
and I have not checked the air in the tires which obviously effects the height. Here are the pictures:
Level Kit:
Leafs:
Stance:
Can anyone name that suspension setup? Thanks.

I'm not positve, but to me it looks like you have part of a Daystar leveling kit up front. The Daystar kit is a two piece spacer where part bolts on top of the coilover assembly and the second piece is placed on top of the coilspring itself. It looks like you have a spacer on top of the coilspring.
To me, the rear leaf springpack looks stock. I can't see the liftblock, but your truck came with a 2 inch liftblock.

THat rear spring pack looks stock. As for the front it's probably an autospring. Those ride heights sound about right to just be a leveling kit. I'm at about 41" and 40" with 35's and a leveling kit.
Soon to be like 44" though as my lift should be here monday

OK I am sure I am stock in the back, however, there isnt a consensus as to what level kit it is, which doesnt bother me too much. However, I would like to know whether I am 1.5", 2" or 2.5 " higher than stock. Anyone know the stock height of an FX4?

My best guess would be that you have a 1.5" Autospring kit. My truck messures 40 3/4" all the way around and I have the 2.5" kit and 325/60/18's (33X13X18). And since you still have about 1 1/4" of forward rake left thats the reason I am guessing the 1.5" kit, and your picture of the front look alot like the one in my gallery of my Autospring spacer.
