You're right, that didn't really bring it up at all, which is weird. Normally it comes up like 2-2.5" with a torsion crank. Maybe it has something to do with it being a Level II, I dunno.

On a separate note, I had buttloads of people to ride with on MTBs, but no one rode moto that I knew so I sold my 125. I used to race when I lived in SK, so it was kind of sad to get rid of my bike. Should have sold my MTB instead seeing as I stopped riding anyway.

there are some decent sized blocks on the rear axle, however... They have ford part numbers. I have a feeling she's lifted from the factory, being a level ii hum.

I think they are from factory, but you wouldn't think that they'd just do a torsion crank right from factory... interesting though...

Check your fender to ground #'s and I can let ya know how it compares to mine. I've got the 3's from adding a 2" tt to my 07 and to my 2010. If you you can measure your rear blocks to see how those compare.

It likely is/was lifted a bit from the factory, the LII's came with larger/better tires (265/75 instead of 255/70, bfg a/t's vs wrangler duratrac's I believe) and may have been slightly cranked to compensate.

I know what you mean about it riding like crap once the the tt gets up a little ways. What I did was to pull the shock out of the top mount and slide a couple nuts over the stud and then re-install, effectively pushes the shock down about 3/4" giving you some of the downtravel back...

I imagine the reason that the Level II's got Bilstiens instead of Ranchos like all others is because of the factory Torsion Crank. It really did not come up much at all with the crank!

Regular FX4's came with Goodyear Wrangler RT/S in a 255/70-16 size.



Level II's came with BFG AT's in a 31x10.5x15 as the stock size.

The Duratrac's i've put on are of the stock size, but look like this:



I'll do some measuring tonight, and post back. If memory serves me correct, it was 36.5 ground to flare clearance front/ 37.5ish rear. I have a slight sag on the passenger side rear too... And it is about .5-.75 off of the drivers rear.
