Help With Leveling Kit
Relatively new to the forum and I recently bought a 2011 FX4. Truck seemed larger in size when I bought it but didn't think anything of it due to the 2" rake it has. I was thinking about putting a 2" AS spacer in to fix the rake but have recently discovered that my truck had a spacer and block installed from previous owner. I really really don't like the rake look and would like to have it perfectly level to fit 35's. Any ideas on what I should do to level it out? I know the back block is a 3" but am not sure about the front measurement. Have pictures of both front and back but not sure how to attach. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How much rake do you currently have? Assuming you put a tape measure up on it, right?
Stock block is 1.25" thick and I think you can do the math from there. Maybe come down to a 2.5" block in the rear, or even lower depending on your tastes. I personally like just a hint of rake to avoid that nose up situation when loaded.

So it looks like the spacer in the front is netting you likely 2" of ride height increase. The ratio of spacer thickness to height increase is not 1:1, it's more like 1:1.25 (roughly). Seeing as how the spacer doesn't peek out from the bucket means you're somewhere in the 1.5-2" level range. A 2.5" level should show itself.
That's definitely a 3" block, so you're netting 1.75" of height increase in the back. I'd come down to a 2" or 2.25" block in the back personally. An inch of rake isn't that noticeable without a tape measure.

Do you have the 5.5 or 6.5 foot box? Also could you possibly take measurements for front and back so i could compare? Thank you

1/4" is barely noticeable by the eye front to back. I'd just swap to a 2" block and call it a day.
