measuring for lift

I wasnt sure what I should mesaure, to determine if my truck was level or whatnot, so i measured from the ground to the fender over each wheel. i measured 38in in the front and 40.5 in the back. This is kinda odd tho cause it looks level, several of my freinds thought so too.

Anyway, I'll probably go with a 2.5 kit up front, and a 1 or 2 inch kit in the rear. maybe the f350 blocks???

Did i measure correctly?

You measured correctly. And a 2" or a 2.5" leveling kit up front will level it out w/o a need for blocks in the rear. I'm going to go with DayStar 2" coil spacers ($100) up front to level it and ProComp ES3000 shocks ($37 ea.) all the way around to retain the stock comfort ride.

My $.02,
