Okay, so I "leveled" with the 2" AS
And I'm sitting 1/2" higher in the front ..... bought from their ebay store based on research here and their description:
Not so, 2010 FX4.
I've measured from the wheel well lip to the ground, from the wheel well lip to the center of the hub, makes no difference, 1/2" higher in the front. It was installed and aligned at a local shop ($250).
Bummer!
I don't want to lift the back as I'm going to run the stock tires till they fall off, but I guess if I could add 1/2" I would. It's already tall for the tire/wheel size (20")
Any suggestions?
Our 2 inch kit was installed on the F-150 in the pictures.The 2 inch kit is preferable if you plan on frequently towing trailers or hauling heavy loads. The 2 inch kit gives you the level look when the rear normally sags under load. If you prefer the dead level look we also have a 2-1/2 inch kit listed on a seperate Ebay auction.

I can relate to your pain. I've wanted to "level" my truck for a while but there's nothing IMHO that looks worse than a truck that sits higher in the front. I'm afraid to make the move for just this reason. Well, that and I tow with mine and can't imagine that would be good, lol. I'd prefer the factory rake over higher in the front. Hopefully as was said above your truck settles down and it's perfect. Sorry!

^^ Based on your pic's, Looks to me that it is slightly higher in front.
I've started to come to the conclusion that the majority of F-150's need no more then a 1.5" AS to be the closest to actually being level. 2" seems to make the front end too high but people just don't realize/notice it. I too, after all the research and such, fell for the 2" talk. Ended up having to purchase a 1.5" kit. And I'm STILL high in the front.

Okie, yea clearly looks taller in the front. Sorry man, been there done that aswell. Only thing I'd suggest is going with a 1.5" and calling it a day. I was in the same boat as you in the fact I did NOT want to raise the rear either. Great lookin truck otherwise though.

Mine was a touch higher with the 1.5 so I put the block in the rear. I guess the block was not drilled square because the rear end is 1/2? off to the right now and there is no slack to move it over. I'd like a 3/4" spacer. Due to the arm geometry you get more lift than the spacer measures.

Ive researched these leveling kits for months now. Like others have said the only AS kit that actually levels the truck is the 1.5. The rest of them make the truck sit higher in the front. I ended up purchasing the Hell Bent Steel 2 inch kit. Although I havent installed it yet I have seen plenty of pics and it gives a very similiar stance to the 1.5 AS kit.
