Nose Down

I kno the trucks have the 'nose-down' stance...but anyone know what the difference is between the front and back? I think its like 1.5" or 2"...but does anyone have the actual measurement?

Not an actual "Ford" spec but over the last 35 years with many trucks measured be it with new or sacked out springs I come up with 2 1/4 to 2 1/2 inch "butt up". Gasing up with 3 tanks alone (56 gallons) I can change ride height on a 68 CS.
With the same tire diameter front / rear, you must allow for cargo lowering the rear, ill handling if it's lower than the front.
