The spring perch on the 4x4 strut assembly sits 1" higher than that on the 4x2.
As for the part #'s, Ford uses 18124 for the front struts and 18125 for the rear shocks on ALL the F150's dating back as far as I cared to look. I was told that that number is just their code for shocks and struts. It's the letter/number code after the 18124 and 18125 that differentiate the different shock.
What the parts guy did when I bought my FX4 shocks was he got the VIN number from an FX4 on the lot and used that to find the specific p/n.
2010 FX4 Premium shocks
Front = p/n AL3Z-18124*GA
Rear = p/n AL3Z-18125*H
Hope that helps.

I believe it is all 4x4's. But again, the part number for a standard XLT 4x4 shock may be different than that of the FX4, Raptor, and so on. Depends on engine size too I believe.
The parts guys said there were like 4 or 5 sub-numbers for the F150 4x4 shock.
basic
premium off road
sport-tuned
heavy duty

Where did you get your slightly bigger rear block at? It's aftermarket right?
#53
Nah, he may have grumbled a bit though because it was raining out when he went to get the VIN off the FX4, haha, but no, he knew where I was going with the purchase.
As far as the rear block, I'm not 100% but I think its a ProComp block. I gave the guys at Maui Offroad the stock block to put on but I told them if after they get the front spacer/struts on and the feel the stock block wouldn't be enough to go ahead and put a bigger block in. He did an even swap for the stock block.
BTW, I've read a few post here that say the stock block measures 1 5/8", it was actually closer to 1 1/4".

I just started a thread in Suspension about the 5100's. What are the pros and cons of the 5100's vs the AS spacer?
