Question Anyone with 2.5" front and 2" rear leveling kits?

I just wanted a half inch rake up front so I ordered 2.5" front and 2" rear blocks.
Does anyone else have this setup?

If so, would you post pics of how your truck sits?

Thanks!

Your truck looks great and sits pretty level. I'm hoping my set up would look as good!

Hey guys (and gals), new here and enjoying the posts. I have a 2010 F-150 2WD Super Crew, was thinking about a Ready-Lift 3" leveling kit for front and I guess blocks for the rear. Anybody tried this brand or any other that works good. I was considering bagging the rear to help when pulling my car trailer. When attached, it drops the truck 2" in rear. Thought bagging would maintain good ride while still keeping truck level. Any thoughts?? Thanks!!!!!!!!!

So you still have a half inch rake up front right? That's what I'm hoping to achieve.

I have a 2" A.S. Leveling Kit in front with a Skyjacker add-a-leaf in the rear, which netted me exactly 2" of rear lift on my current truck.

On my old 05 FX4 I had the same setup with a 2.5" A.S. in front.
Pics are in my gallery.

Hmmm I wonder if I should've gone with 3" kit. Oh well, we'll see how this turns out when installed. I just got the 2.5" front and 2" rear blocks in.

You don't want 3" in the front, stick with what you have.

Thanks!

My truck is 9 years old. The indy mechanic tells me to replace the shocks all around when putting the leveling kit in. Is that necessary precaution since the shocks are that old?

If they're the originals, i'm assuming they are well worn out so now is the time so you aren't paying labor on it twice.

Would this work?

Since they're going to be stretched >2", I don't want to get a regular set if a longer one is recommended.

You shouldn't need new coils, i'd personally go for a better quality shock. Monroe isn't bad, but at nearly $300 you have more options.

For the front, stock shock/strut length is needed. For the rear you can use a stock length or look for a slightly longer but most rear shocks I see are for 0-2" lifted trucks.
