Hey everyone, I decided on my next mod, and its gonna be the leveling kit. I'm decided on a 3" front level. My question is, what size is a good rear block? I want to level the truck out a little bit also get a lil lift overall. I know the stock rear block is 1.5" and stock now, the front is 3" lower then the rear. Would replacing the stock block with a 3" block be alright or look good? Cause that would put it at 3 higher in front and 1.5 higher in back. So the difference would be 1.5" not 3". Any suggestions or comments on how this would look? Or should I not even bother with the rear?

2.5 in the front at the most. 3 is too much of a angle on your front end but thats my opinion. And id do a add a leaf. Add a leaf gives u lift and more capacity. But if u want a block just get the right size to make it level after u do your math.

Okay ill give that a try with the rear. And I was originally thinking 2.5 in front to be safe, but the more I'm on this forum, the more I see people with 3s in front and not complaining.

I went with 2.5 because I didn't want to push the envelope. That's also why I won't go with 12.5" wide tires when I get them, to try to prevent future problems. I wasn't going to do anything but to the rear, but it ended up to be a half inch low. I looked at the leaf springs and they were a little flat. Maybe over loaded before, or just went flat with use. So I added a pro comp aal. Looks better and doesn't drop the rear as much when I tow the boat. Next I have to replace front hub, then 290/70/18 trail grapps, then new rear shocks and I'll be set.

Monroe sensa-trac with coils for the rear add1" of lift too... Plus ride and handle load better than stock, and they wouldn't be as firm as an aal,but they are firmer than stock.
