I went up two in the front and one in the back to maintain that bit of rake.

Yeah, some ReadyLIFT peeps here, not sure about Rough Country, doesn't seem to be too much chatter about them here.

I bought the 2" RC level kit for my 2020 F150, 4X4 Reg. Cab Short bed, 2.7. I have the kit but am holding off until shops open up so I can take it right in for a front end alignment. I don't off road so the composite part should be just fine for me. Also I am in Michigan. So one less thing to corrode or rust. Most of the reason I went with this RC kit. I am not as much in a hurry now. I bought a wheel set off of a 2018 Raptor, 315/70/17. They only had 150 miles on them. They fit the truck with no rub in the front! Things are close. But no rub. The reg. cabs short beds seem not to have crash bars behind the front bumper. There are still behind the front tire. So the level kit now will be just for looks.

Ready lift 2.25"........ I also did a 3" block in the back (removing the factory block)..... I kinda like the raked look......plus I tow a car trailer so it keeps the truck from squatting...

How much rake did you wind up with using a 3" block?

I went up 2" in the front, took out the stock block in the back and put in a 2.25" Halo. From center of hub to the fender shows approximately at 1.75" rake. I have a STX FX4 with 20" rims. I wish I could go to 3" in the front without any issues but then I'm into a legitimate life to keep things from breaking. I might go 2.5" AutoSpring to lessen the rake it bit when things pick up again.

That doesnt even look that much higher. Ive been considering bilsteins up front and a 3" block and it seems the 3" is not as high as I expected.

I’ve read where some are taking the block out of the back instead of raising the front. How much lower will it drop?
