Thanks for the response. I didn't think airbags added height at 5 #, but I had the exact same result as you using Airlifter 5000 bags. So added a hair more rake then I had calculated in my case.

Were you able to refuse the factory ubolts
The block is 1.25" and I'd suggest using some washers so you don't go to the last thread. I have a post on here about mine. The tailgate will go down more than 1.25" b/c it's further back than the axle.

First time poster. Truck is a crew cab lariat fx4 package. I’m currently looking at leveling kits, and noticed that my truck from the factory has a considerable amount of rake. Front measuring 36 3/4”, rear measuring 40 3/4”. Anyone else in the same boat? Which leveling kit did you go with? Thanks in advance.
I actually looked at my truck today...
Ran into the guy that bought my old Platinum and as we both stood there admiring our beauties, he said, "Did you raise your rearend?". I told him no, but then realized how high the friggin rearend really is... (36.5" front, 40.75" rear)
Huge gap between wheelwell and tire, nine inches!
So as I stared at my truck and almost longingly wish I had my old 2015 back, I did a search on our forums and found this thread.
So on my '22 Platinum, power boost, FX4, stock 20" rims and stock Hancooks, I can just remove the block and not have any repercussions? Sounds like that's what OP did.
I don't want to get a bigger tire to fill wheelwell, I'm already rubbing front tires on stock setup (which already pi**es me off).
