Ok, I know that makes no sense. Levelling kit with a rake.. Well the story is, I am awaiting my 2021, with FX4 if that makes a difference. I have a falcon sport tow/haul levelling kit ready to go. I would like to keep a rake to my truck as well. The Falcon kit has a stock, medium, level, and heavy accessory setting for front height. I was thinking I could have them set it at the heavy accessory (highest setting) and add some 3 inch blocks to the rear? Do they make these for the 2021s? And would this affect the new rear shocks? Any input would be great. Thanks!

I’ve been looking at the Falcon setup as well. I also want to maintain some rake while lifting the front so I am not sagging in the back when I go camping or haul something. I asked Falcon customer service if you could add a taller block in the rear and they said no:

Thanks for reaching out. Great question. Unfortunately, With our Falcon kit. The rear shocks cannot accept any more additional height. This is due to the fact that we are not lifting the rear of the vehicle at all. If any additional height is added to the rear, you would run the risk of over extending the shocks during suspension travel and causing internal damage to the shocks.”

There’s about a 0.5 in of rake in the rear at level. I am planning on adding HD RAS which will add some rake back to the truck. I’ve found a few people run this set up without affecting the ride negatively.

I also reached out to falcon. They suggested to go to a wdh which I am regardless.

Let's talk about that 70 fastback a bit... My absolute favorite muscle car is the 70 Mach1

I’ve got a ‘21 and getting a ‘22. I’ve had the Readylift 2” puck and it’s done very well. I would like a little rake though, as anytime I tow or load up for camping it squats a bit. Anyone looked at the Halo blocks? I see places that you can’t add anything, but others say you can. I just want minimal to keep the rake. Thoughts?

This Rough Country lift includes a set of optional rear lift blocks.

https://www.roughcountry.com/ford-leveling-lift-kit-571c.html

If you don't put in the rear blocks, the truck will ride level. If you DO put them in, the truck should have a factory looking rake, just taller.

"The kit also comes with a 1" rear block that adds some rear ride height to keep at least some rake for towing and hauling applications, or running your truck with a bed rack or other constant weight."

I haven't installed it yet, but I'm including air bags to eliminate squat so I wont be installing the rear blocks, probably.

The only problem is, that kit will not work with anyone who has the FX4 package or rides higher than 22 inches.

Pretty sure you will still have some rake left with a 2in spacer.
I have measured a few F150's now with different options/models and they are all about 2.5-4in of rake.

I’ve got a ‘21 and have the ready lift, and it looks level. Haven’t measured, but it looks flat. I’d like to find a way to get some rake for my new truck coming.
