I’m with you. Seems like I’ve seen a lot of reverse levels lately. They look really bad. The ones that are done right blend right in and I don’t even notice them. I don’t mind the factory rake though. Works good with a quad or SxS in the back or a trailer with a lot of tongue weight.

It's almost as if people have different tastes, whodathunkit.

Perfectly level is my jam. I can't stand the face-down-***-up look.

So anybody wanting a leveled truck and tow, you will need pucks for the rear also.
Which airbag kit are you using, Firestone or airlift?

Depending on the truck, the leveling blocks will vary. My 17 F250 only needed 1.5" block and that left me with 1" difference at the wheel well front to back. My 17 F350 needed a 2" block to maintain that 1" difference front to back - which IMO is perfect.

Ready lift used to make a tp tow package lift which kept some rake by replacing the rear block with a 1" taller one.

Maybe Ford could offer a option -
1: the "Mall" package - level - never used to haul, or pull anything, offroad etc.
2: the "John Wayne" package - otherwise known as a "SuperDuty" only level when it's doing "Super Duty" work..

Option 1 comes with a bumper sticker that says "Form over function!".

Option #3
-The truck comes with an air bag that is not connected to the axle, allowing full suspension droop and travel.




-The Powerstroke "brand name" gets tossed in the garbage and replaced with a Scorpion name/symbol (so we can have a gaudy giant sticker in our back window like the C guys).
-E lockers front and rear in the FX4 kit.
-TPMS off/on selectable from the dashboard.
-Maybe a job opening in the QC department (I'm willing to relocate)
-wall paper ever dealership with service bulletin info so stupid consumers like us don't know more about the SB's than the dealer techs. Waterboarding optional.
-An OEM copy of King 3.0 coilovers up front. Adjustable ride height, and adjustable compression.

It would make a ton more sense than huge moon roofs and vibrating seats.
