Awesome, I think I am going to do the Rancho level kit in the front, 3" block in the rear with some 295/70/17 (33.3") tires. Should be good.

Again nice truck

I was looking for some smaller blocks...like maybe 2", anyone know where to get them? I think 3" is too much for my small level on the front a AS 1.5"

+1 to this. Id really be interested in some 2 inch ones. Will the 04-08 ones work on our trucks. Its less than half an inch but it will be better than what it is now.

It has cut in unexpectedly a few times since putting the larger tires on. I assume this is a result of the pcm not being calibrated for the tire size and thinking something is happening that isn't. It's mostly happening while turning fairly sharp while travelling fast. My VMP SCTx3 will be here next week so hopefully that cures it. For now I just hold the traction control button for a few seconds to disable the system.

I think Pro Comp has 2.5" blocks.

What size block does the 2011 F150 FX4 come with?

I need to add roughly 1/2" - 3/4" to the rear. Any help guys?

I just measured mine to make sure and it was 1.25".

My truck is perfectly level right now with the 2" Autospring. However I want to raise the rear just a hair to have a slight rake. Do you think adding 2" blocks in the rear will be a good amount?

You will only get 1/2 the amount of lift out of the size of the block. I put a 3" block on mine with a 2" LK and it has some rake back, I think it sits perfect.

This is with AS 2" LK and 3" rear blocks, 295/70-18 Nitto Terra Grapplers which is a 34"+ tall tire. That was right after I did the rear blocks over the winter, I need to take some pics with it clean.

Are there any issues with brake line lengths when adding the 3" block in the rear?

Shouldn't be an issue with brake lines. There may be an issue with pinion angle. I have not read about anyone having an issue. The only reason I bring it up is I recently put in a set of blocks off a Raptor. They are 2 1/2" on the front and 2 5/8 on the rear. I never encountered such a thing so I went googling, the best I can figure out is it's for pinion angle.

Here's a shot of my '12 with 2" AS and the Raptor blocks. I used 2" AS rear blocks before the Raptor blocks and it just didn't look right to me. Now I think it sits right where I want it.

The stance of your truck, scorpio, is perfect. Hopefully the stance on my truck will look real similar to yours.

I ordered the Rancho Quicklift Loaded for the front & 3" blocks with RS9000XL series shocks for the rear. I purchased the rear shocks are for a rear end designed for a 4" lift after talking with Rancho about the compressed and extended shock lengths. The MyRide system wil be added in a couple months.

Where did you find Raptor blocks (did they include u-bolts and nuts) and how much did you pay for them?
