The Ford keys should crank you higher. What are your fender measurements? I had mine cranked and had a ton of lean.
last time I measured was with the old mud grapplers and old shocks. I'll try to remember to get the measurements tmw but last time I think is was like 39 up front, and about 38.5 in the back.
:shake:
tire size plays a lot into that, your best bet is hub to fender measurements.
truck looks very clean. much much better than when you got it.
if you still have the stock shocks on, with ford keys and extenders you can still fulled extend the shocks and it wont go up any higher.

droop measurements: 1/8" driver side, little over 3/8" pass side
torsion key thread count: 4 driver side, 5 pass side
torsion key bolt measurement (from top of head to block thing): 9/16" driver side, 5/8" pass side
fender measurements: FL 39-1/4" FR 38-3/4" BACK-38 1/2"
SO, the front pass side sits a little lower than the driver side which is weird because the driver side is where most of my rubbing problems are :hmm:

Hmmm I guess it's just your wheel and tire setup making it appear to be lower in pics even though it's not. That's right within 1/4-1/2" of my measurements and my truck looked and was tall as shit
lols Chris.
I decranked the driver side yesterday because I had this crazy idea that since the pass side was lower than the driver side and didn't rub, I should decrank. Buttt that just made the rub worse so I'm going to crank te fok outta them today and get the front sitting around 39 1/4"-1/2". probably gonna be sitting on the droop stops until I can figure out the next step/solution.

Just get a friend to drive slowly with the wheel cut while you watch to figure out where it's rubbing. I bet its either on the frame/tbar or the back of the fender or the valence
oh I know where it's rubbing because there's marks on the back of the liner and it ripped a chunk off the front of the liner :lol: I went ahead and cranked the hell out of it. Should be sitting around 40" once it settles. I can barely stick the end of my tape measure between the uca and droop stop :uhoh:
