Before/After Pics needed

I'm looking for Before/After pictures of stock F150 and then adding the 3" spacers and rear blocks. I found the kit with the 3" spacers up front and the blocks in the back. Now my question is even with the rear blocks will this take care of the front sag?

4x4:
the 3" up front will make you nose high with nothing else

the 3" block out back will make you sit level, or very slightly butt high


4x2:
the 3" up front will make you about leveled out with nothing else

the 3" block out back will put the factory rake back on




I can give you before/after pics of my 2.5" kit...but my 3" rear is still sitting on my garage floor. I can't seem to find time to install it.

This is a 2.5" kit with the rear block.
Before


After


All the other pictures in my gallery are with the kit also. I will try to find a better after picture. My truck now sits with a slight rake. You should pretty much sit dead level with a 3" in the front and the replacement blocks in the rear I would think.

yes, a 2wd will sit almost level with a 2.5" kit.

4x2 are 1" shorter up front, and 2" lower out back than a 4x4

On my iPhone right now...look in my gallery

I've got pics of it in there...I suggest you only do a 2" if your not doing the rear block.

A 2.5" makes most trucks sit either perfectly level (like me) or nose high. So I only suggest using the 2.5" or 3" in conjunction with a rear block or leaf

My truck with just the 2.5" front made it sit slightly nose high. Like Tylus suggested if you don't want to do replacement blocks I would suggest just going with the 2". If I had to do it all over again I would do it the same way I did it.

I just recieved the exact same kit in the mail today! How do you like the AS kit? I hate how raked the 4x4s are. I was hoping that my truck wouldn't look wierd with the 2.5" in front and the 1" in back with the stock 17" rims and stock tires. Now that I see pics of your truck, I think I'll be more than happy with the AS kit. Your truck looks awesome!
