Default .75" rear blocks

The rear of my truck sits really high, about 2 5/8" higher than the front.

I do t want to get ride if the rear blocks completely as I like rake, just a little less. Anyone know of a .75" rear block for a 1/2" rear drop?

No interest in lifting the front

You could have yours machined down. Easy for a grinding shop.

Try removing the blocks completely and see what you think, theres still rake with them removed, you get about about 1.25 ish with them removed. Even if .75" blocks are available 1/2" drop it probably wont make enough difference.

I bought these off of eBay and had a local machine shop mill off the excess material to the height I wanted.
Machine shop charged me a dozen donuts!

The drivers side is actually 2 7/8" difference. The passenger side sits a little higher up front and lower in the rear for a 2 1/2" difference.

I'm thinking I will pull the rear blocks and add some airlift ride control airbags. On my last truck (Silverado) they lifted the rear 3/8-1/2" and also made it ride a tad better with only 8 psi in them. I should end up with that 1.75-2" rake at that point. That truck like my f150 almost rides on the overloads, which I think is why it helped the ride a little. It takes thr weight off the springs some as the bags hold it.

For what it's worth, removing the rear 4x4 block completely still results in a rake.

If my memory serves, this is a picture of mine after I removed the factory lift blocks (nothing else changed).
