Leveling Kit Questions - 2014 FX4 - Pics Requested

To start, yes I have reviewed just about all the leveling kit posts I could and I think I got more confused.

I recently purchased the 2” autospring front spacers thinking that was exactly what I wanted. I measured and that would technically give me a little room left to spare. A lot of the pictures I’m seeing of the 2” make the nose look high, though I know it’s likely not. I have also read a lot of posts that state that the 1.5” AS spacer gives 2” of lift.

So I need some help. Pictures are strongly encouraged!

I am debating:
sticking with the 2” AS

changing to the 2” zone (I have only seen a couple and they look more level through pictures)

i have yet to see the 2” As “complete leveling kit which comes with rear blocks. Their website does not give the exact dimensions of the rear block. I know stock is 1.25”.

I have also also seen a lot of posts that people are running 34” tires on a 2” spacer but they say it will only allow 33”.

I would rather have have a bit of rake rather than look nose high, but I would also like to run 34” tires (I think). 33s seem a bit to small and the 33.5s are almost $350 more. I don’t have the money to be doing this twice. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Leveling kits typically refer to lifts to raise the front to match rear and thus, erase rake.

Lift kits that are complete should include parts to raise both ends near same amount.

My OEM rear blocks were 2" on my '07.

Thank you. Yeah I understand the difference, AS had it advertised as a “complete leveling kit” which is where I got confused. My rear block is 1.25 inches on a 2014.

My bigger concern was with the different leveling spacer sizes. I have seen so many different pics, with the different spacers, all claiming something different. A “leveling kit” should be one size IMO. When I measured, a 2” kit would still leave some rake. Over researching on here has made me rethink my original plan.

I think I’m going to stick with the 2” AS leveling kit but add a 2” rear block so a 3/4” difference. It will have a little rake but not near as bad as stock. Unless someone here can change my mind.
