If you install a 2.5 level up front to make your truck level and then swap out your rear block for a bigger one what happens ???

A 3" rear block DOES NOT keep your truck nose down... Each truck is different.. Depending on your current height RIGHT NOW will determine if you need a 2" rear or a 3" rear... My truck never sat nose down so the 2.5 front and 3" rear put me level

Beautiful set up man. Did you have to do any trimming?

34s with only a 2.5" level.

My offset(-12) made it rub at first but after some trimming of the plastic, I never rub anymore.
