Default HELP 2.5 Level Front Higher than back

I posted previously about have front end work and a 2.5" RC level installed on the front.


Somehow I screwed up my figures. Rear is now 1.25" lower than the front.


Do I need to order the 2" rear lifting blocks or go with the 2.5"?? I rarely tow anything. Just like the level look with a touch of rake


Will be using 275/70/18 tires


Thanks

an entire 1.25"?? that seems a bit much. How are you measuring? Also what blocks do you have in the rear currently? Pics of the what's under the leaf springs so we can help identify?

Ah yeah makes sense, the 2.5" levels if you have the 1.25" 4x4 block in the rear. I'm sure somebody on the forum is selling their 4x4 blocks!

If i were to order the blocks and clamps, replace the stock ones with 2.5 " blocks

Thanks for the response so far

That block you see is not a block, its attached to the axle (like welded to the axle) you would want to add a 1.25" block to that. That's how the 4x4s come from factory and that's why a 2.5" spacer will level a 4x4 and leave a 2WD nose high. 1.25" blocks with new ubolts.

No problem! Also if you plan on towing hauling it might be worth jumping another half inch or so so you never go nose high but if its mostly a commuter truck then level should look nice!
