Lift block question..
I searched and did find some useful info but I do still have a question.
I recently installed the fox level kit but with the weight I carry the truck now squats. Ordered up the f-150 lifts.com 2.25'' lift blocks for the rear, but they aren't tapered like the stock blocks. I have the 2 piece rear driveshaft on a '13 extended super crew. Will I have issues with the pinion angle after installation? If so, what is the fix? Thanks for any input..

I just put the 2.25 blocks on today and no problems. The stock blocks are 1.5 so you're only going up .75, not that much of a drive angle change. Just FYI, my stock blocks aren't tapered.

Our 2.0, 2.25, and 2.5 rear blocks are not tapered as they do not need to be, in our opinion and research. Any block greater than 2.5" needs a taper...this is why our new Raptor Style blocks WILL have a taper. Stock blocks on a -09 and up 4X4 are 1.25" not 1.5". Our stock blocks that came off our 2012 super crew FX4 were not tapered. The Raptor blocks are tapered.

Just to update...
My truck has the 157 wheelbase, and the blocks are tapered by .05 of an inch.
After installing the flat 2.25'' blocks, Ive had no drivability issues. The pinion angle is a bit different, but all appears to be ok for the meantime.
