Ok, understand.

Anyone know the size of the stock rear block? If I know that then I can figure this out.

Have you ever thought about just adding a leaf to keep your rear end up ?

Yes, but rather not have that harsh ride. I would prefer the block. Once I get the 295/60 LT tires the ride will be harsh enough already!

Your installing a front level with 295/60 LT tires and a taller rear block...do you think your ride is going to be better ??

I believe the stock block is 1 5/8" tall.

So that probably means you need 3 1/2" blocks. 3" would be slightly less rake.

No the ride will SUCK. But if I had an add a leaf it would be WORSE.....

Thanks for the info. If this is accurate then a 3" block would be perfect for me(2" increase in front, 1 3/8" increase in back), would maintain a slight rake.

Ride won't suck rear will ride the same. Very little difference with front spacers. Most ride difference will depend on what kind of tires you choose.

Default If you haven't already done it....

After research, I like the 295/60r20 on the factory 20" wheels, while maintaining the factory rake. Would a 1.5" level work or do I need 2"? What size rear block do I need?


Nitto trails M/T 295/60/20 stock rims 2inch leveling kit with a spacer up front, back is stock, no trimming, although installer took 5 mins with a utility knife and trimmed spaces in the front plastic piece where it "might rub" while off roadibg
