Strut Spacers

Hi I thought I read on here that FX4s need a 2" strut spacer instead of a2.5 because of higher spring rates? Ive got a 05 supercab and want to get the right one the first time around. I really just want to level the truck out,not lift or anything and will be keeping the stock size tires for now. Thanks for any help.

In my experience 2.5" will sit perfectly level to slightly nose up. The 2" will be slightly nose down. The FX4 package should not make a difference. The abuse/heavy loading that a 10 year old truck has taken over the years could already be affecting the way it sits compared to when it was new so results may vary.
