it prolly wasent a 305 but a 285. op youll be fine with a 285 with your leveling kit. remember now it is not level with just the spacer youll need a block or add a leaf at 1'' in the back to make it level for the 2wd

what are you talking about ?!?!?!?!?!?! the stock 2wd 1997-2003 f150 had a stock rake of 2" (two inches, zwei Zoll, два дюйма, dos pulgadas)
do i need to say it in any other language?

he wont need block or an aal with a 2 inch spacer

maybe you needed the block cause your garden hose added an extra inch

to drive my point with more FACTS :

Well boomer my feelings are very hurt by the way your treating me. A stock 2wd is extremely level with no rack whats so ever. he will need an inch or 2 back there. the 4x4 has a 2 inch block stock maybe thats whats confusing you.

Im just very hurt by the way you and some others are treating me. Im a very sensitive man and hurt very easily. i would only want to make friends here. and try to fit in as best as i can

im sorry just dont like miss information getting trown around,

on my 1999 2wd f150, had a 2 inch rake
my friends 1998 2wd f150 had 2 inch rake
my cousins 2wd 2000 f150 has a 2" rake and is still 100% stock hes scared to pump gas in the damn thing.

im just saying

maybe by some chance your 2002 2wd f150 only had a 1 inch rake

best thing to do is measure from the highest point on the fender wells front and rear and check the differance, as mine sits right this second in the lot, the back end sits 1 inch taller then the front you cant tell from a distance but sure as hell a ruler can.

Ok im sorry if im misinformed. But the fact is the 2wd stock is incredibly low. and it is basically level i consider 1 - 1 1/2'' level . So hed be doing good to raise front and back as much as possible (suspension lift) otherwise dont bother with a lvl kit imo. its just not worth it it will still be incredibly low. even spindle lift would be better.

your front is at stock hight. But the back must have an aal or 1 or 2'' block. The stock 2wds are like your front on the back also

yea id consider 1- 1/2 level. either back higher or front higher. Yours maybe be a bit unlevel. but your front springs could be sagging or your leaf pack is in good shape. But the thing looks good man. Nice ride

Okay, listen...YOU'RE WRONG! that's why they make two-inch front "leveling" kits and also why they make two inch rear "leveling" kits. And since you feel like you can tell others what their suspension setup is, maybe your truck has 2" drop spindles on it so it was level when you thought it was "stock?!"

My truck, as I bought it, before spacers, new paint, FX4 rims/tires, stock front and rear height :



My truck, two inch coil spacers, stock rear height :

yes your top pic is stock and is very level with no rack. your second pic your front is a lil higher with that spacer. (which imo is the way it should be) Looking good. That hood is sweet
